Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola shared an interesting take on the best players in the Premier League, introducing one of his own players into the conversation alongside established stars such as striker Erling Haaland and midfielder Kevin De Bruyne.

Aside from the two, the Spanish manager also declared English midfielder Phil Foden as one of the best players in the Premier League.

"He's been the best so far. I always had the feeling he would score goals, in training sessions, always I had the feeling but now he is winning games," Guardiola fondly said about the 23-year-old.

Foden delivered a brace against crosstown rivals Manchester United last Sunday, March 3 at the Etihad Stadium.

"To become a world-class player at that age you have to win games and he always played good, always had an incredible work ethic. Doesn't matter what position, he doesn't complain," the 53-year-old tactician added.

City anticipated a fierce encounter against United, with the visitors taking the lead in the 8th minute after forward Marcus Rashford unleashed a blast from outside the box.

Even after the halftime break, the home team found themselves trailing until Foden equalized with a remarkable left-footed shot from outside the box in the 56th minute.

Foden then snatched the lead for City with another precise left-footed strike near the goal in the 80th minute, while Haaland sealed the victory in the 91st minute with his 18th league goal of the season.
