Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was delighted with two goal Phil Foden for victory at FA Cup opponents Newport County.

Foden struck twice in the second half to help steer City home 4-1 following a scoreless first period.

"Phil's only problem is that he has to compete with Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva and Bernardo Silva," Guardiola said.

"He's a player who is ready to play. Today was a good test for him, and this will be good for him.

"He learnt a lot and he helped us to win the game with two incredible goals.

"He has the mentality and ability to score goals when he is near the box. He was brilliant."
