Neville praises Phil Foden

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that Phil Foden is a special talent following his man of the match performance for Manchester City in the derby.



The Cityzens came from behind to beat United in the Premier League earlier today and Foden was the stand-out performer with a brace in the second half.

Speaking after the game, Neville said that Foden is cool as ice and a special talent, he said: "He's as cool as ice, Phil Foden. He's such a special talent. He's here to stay. He's such a wonderful player."

With the victory, City managed to close the gap to leaders Liverpool to just one point. They will face the Merseyside outfit at Anfield next weekend.

The game could be a huge decider in the title race with Arsenal also in the mix. The Gunners are currently five points behind with a game in hand.

They will be in action against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane tomorrow and are fancied by many to secure a convincing victory over the Blades.

Mikel Arteta's side could find themselves top of the table before City and Liverpool meet, suppose they beat Sheffield and Brentford next week.
