Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden is delighted that his work in training is paying off.

The City star has put in a lot of effort to impress manager Pep Guardiola.

Foden got his chance in the Premier League against Burnley, and he did not disappoint, scoring an impressive two goals in a 5-0 win.

"It is always good to play a part," he told Sky Sports post-match.

"I am enjoying my football. The main thing is getting the result and how the time are playing. We are sharp.

"It is down to the whole team wanting to work hard. No matter who the manager puts it they do a job.

"We have a set-piece coach and have been working hard on short corners and defending as well so it is good when it comes off.

"We worked on the set-piece to draw players out as well so I already knew where to play the pass. I am just glad it came off.

"I'd like to think that was my best game in a City shirt. I am still learning every day but I am happy to put performances in like that."

Foden has often been compared to David Silva, and he had a lot of praise for the veteran Spaniard.

Foden added: "How he plays today, he is unbelievable.

"I don't want to think about it. I am just enjoying playing with him. He is a legend of the game."
