Foden laughs off Iniesta comparisons after stunning performance

The 18-year-old scored against Oxford United, after setting up Riyad Mahrez with a fine pass for City's second goal.

He also played another brilliant pass in the build-up for Gabriel Jesus' opener for the champions.

City fans referred to the youngster as the "Stockport Iniesta", after Spain and Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta.

Foden is happy about the nickname, saying: "Yeah, I am happy about that. 

"But Iniesta, come on, he is on a different planet, so for them to call me that is massive, it means a lot.

Foden also praised the level of the players around him at Manchester City as a huge factor in his development this season.

"Training with the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva, players in the same position as me, I am learning every day off them," he added.

"Watching what they do has really brought me on as a player. Working with Pep as well has really helped a big part of my game, bringing it on."
