Manchester City starlets Phil Foden and Rico Lewis are forming an understanding on the field.

Both were instrumental in the club's 3-1 win over RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek.

Foden, who was impressive in the game, spoke about manager Pep Guardiola heaping praise on his teammate Lewis post-game.

“He is one of the best young players I've seen," said Foden to reporters.

“He seems to up our tempo when he's dead sharp in the pockets and makes us play a bit quicker.

“Normally when you're 18 you're a bit shy in these big games. He's the total opposite. He wants the ball, wants to impress.

“I like his determination. He's going to be a quality player, he just needs the game time."
