Pep Guardiola full of praise for Phil Foden after ‘incredible’ performance in Manchester City win against Hoffenheim
Pep Guardiola praised ‘skinny’ Phil Foden and his Manchester City side for overcoming Hoffenheim 2-1and secure top spot in their Champions League group.Andrej Kramaric put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot, but City who were twice denied by the woodwork, drew level thanks to a stunning Leroy Sane free-kick in first-half stoppage time.2

Phil Foden started for City on Wednesday

And it was Sane again who found the net after the break, following excellent work from Raheem Sterling.Foden, 18, made his third Champions League start for City and showed flashes of his quality, including a superbly struck volley, with Guardiola waxing lyrical about the young midfielder after the game.He said: “Phil was incredible, the way he played.“I would never have doubts about the quality of that guy.“It is not just the quality with the ball. He looks skinny, not strong, but he’s really, really strong.”2

Leroy Sane scored twice for Manchester City

Such is the regard the Spaniard holds Foden in, he believes the “diamond” can be a major player for club and country.He added: “He’s an outstanding young player, a huge talent. I think England has a diamond.“He’s special, he has had minutes and in the future will have a lot of them.“He played like a real man. He played so good.”City return to league action on Saturday lunchtime when they entertain Everton, where they’ll be looking to bounce back from the first league defeat of the season at Chelsea.
