Manchester City won the match 3-0, with Phil Foden manufacturing the first and second goal before adding the third himself in added time.
This was the highly-rated youngster's first goal for Pep Guardiola's side, and opposition boss Karl Robinson praised the 18-year-old after the game, drawing comparisons between Foden and Iniesta.
Foden has been nicknamed the 'Stockport Iniesta' by adoring fans, but the Englishman insisted he has a way to go before he can be put on the same pedestal as the Catalan midfielder.
Replying to the comments, he said: "I'm happy with that but come on - Iniesta is on a different planet!
"For them to call me that is massive, it means a lot. I'll just keep getting these cup games and run-outs whenever I can and hopefully I can start a lot more games one day.
"There's no need to rush. Pep knows what he's doing and I'll play at the right time. He's good at bringing youth players through, he's done it in his career before so just be patient, I'm still young and I'm still learning.
"Training with the likes of David [Silva] and Kevin [De Bruyne] and seeing what they do every day has brought me on as a player.
"Working with Pep as well has been a really big part of my game. Both him and Mikel [Arteta] have been a massive help. I just have to keep impressing and keep working hard and see where it gets me."
