Troy Deeney pays Phil Foden a HUGE compliment as he compares him with a Barcelona legend following his stunning brace in Man City's derby win over Man United

Troy Deeney has lavished Phil Foden with praise after his heroics in Man City's 3-1 derby win over Man United on Sunday.

Foden scored a brace in the second half of the Manchester derby, helping turn the match on its head and help the hosts to a emphatic victory at the Etihad.

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.
