Manager full of praise for the Manchester City midfielder
Foden scored twice in 4-0 Nations League win over Iceland

Gareth Southgate claimed Phil Foden gave a glimpse of the young talent that “will be fabulous for England for years to come” with a display that delivered international redemption against Iceland.

The Manchester City midfielder illuminated the Nations League dead rubber at Wembley with two stylish goals plus an assist for Declan Rice’s opener. They were the duo’s first goals at senior international level and with Mason Mount also on the scoresheet, England had three goalscorers aged 21 or under in the same game for the first time since February 1883.
