The night Phil Foden came of age: Pep's patience pays off in Dortmund

It is the sort of image, bursting with raw emotion, which will follow Phil Foden. A snapshot in time. An enduring picture of the growing bond between manager and player.

Foden seems to score the biggest goal of his Manchester City career every few weeks. Wednesday night's against Borussia Dortmund was the latest.

It flew in and he ran and ran, then ran a bit more before reaching a bouncing Pep Guardiola on the touchline. The pair embraced, exchanging words, before they were mobbed by the majority of City's squad and backroom staff.
