Graeme Souness described Phil Foden as the best young player England have right now after the midfielder's stellar performance in Manchester City's 4-1 win at Liverpool

Foden took control of the Anfield tie in the second-half, laying on two assists before striking in a wonder goal as Pep Guardiola's side moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a game in hand.

Souness claimed Foden is the pick of the bunch out of the several young midfielder England manager Gareth Southgate has at his disposal - a group which includes James Maddison, Jack Grealish and Mason Mount.
