Man City boss Guardiola delighted with Bobb in FA Cup win

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola praised another excellent display from his team.

The Citizens were in fine fettle all game as they beat Huddersfield Town 5-0 at home.

Guardiola reserved special praise for youngster Oscar Bobb, who played in attacking midfield.

“In the first half he was a bit shy because it was so difficult to find spaces and we didn't find it," Guardiola told reporters.

“But we made some adjustments after half-time and he is a guy who receives the ball as a striker in the pockets and his first turn - he is quite similar to Phil (Foden).

“He is an incredible threat - he was lucky for the goal but her has to be there and after he had two or three shots blocked.

"It's another 90 minutes and always he has played - in pre-season, in the Red Star game and as a substitute - at a high, high level.

"It's another player from the Academy coming here and it's good."
