Guardiola hails ‘incredible’ Foden goal after tough FA Cup outing

Pep Guardiola has praised Phil Foden’s amazing solo goal in Manchester City’s 4-1 win against Newport County on Saturday evening.

The youngster earned a rare start for the Premier League champions, and despite being three divisions higher than the opposition City struggled to break them down in the game’s early stages.

In fact, it took until the 51st minute for City to break the deadlock, when Leroy Sane found the back of the net.
