​Man City manager Guardiola ecstatic over Foden, Torres combination

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola was very impressed with the link up play between youngsters Phil Foden and Ferran Torres.

The duo came off the bench against FC Porto in the UEFA Champions League when City were 2-1 up.

Foden set up the 20-year-old Torres for the third goal to seal the win.

"It was an incredible combination from Phil and Ferran," said Guardiola post-game.

"Ferran has an incredible sense of goal. The most satisfying thing was the way they came in. Always the people who come from the bench are so important.

"We did a perfect performance. It was an incredible performance from us against a really tough team. It is nice to win games suffering against a really good team. I am so pleased with the last two games. Short recovery and then we go to London (to play West Ham)."
