Paul Scholes claims Phil Foden is already a 'better player' than a Premier League and England legend... as he hails the Man City star for taking his game to 'another level' this season

Paul Scholes has hailed Phil Foden's contribution to Manchester City's title challenge this season, insisting he is already a 'better player' than a Premier League legend.

Foden produced a match-winning performance in the Manchester Derby on Sunday, with 23-year-old's brace helping Pep Guardiola's side come from behind to earn a 3-1 win.

The 23-year-old opened his account for the day with a stunning long-range strike to pull his side level - after Marcus Rashford's spectacular opener - before the England star found the back of the net again in the 80th minute.
