Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden is "football reality".

The 22-year-old capped a magnificent all-round display at the Etihad with a hat-trick.

Reflecting both on the win – and Foden's impact – Guardiola hailed the attacking midfielder's attitude and impact.

“Phil is a reality. He is still a young lad, but he played important games with us. But he ran, he pressed and showed intensity," Guardiola told City's website.

“He is a talent - it is a reality. He lives for football and hopefully he can stay many years with us."
