Manchester City's Phil Foden hailed Andres Iniesta as being on a different planet after further comparisons with him. The England U-19 international starred in City's 3-0 League Cup third-round win over Oxford on Tuesday night, playing his part in the opening two goals before adding a late strike of his own.

After the game, Oxford boss Karl Robinson drew parallels between Foden and former Barcelona star Iniesta. Foden, 18, insists he is pleased to have been given the nickname but has some way to go to match the World Cup winner, backing Guardiola to develop him in the best way.
