Guardiola, reacting to the game at the Vitality Stadium, said: “Forget about the goals, of course they are important.
“Do you know how he [Foden] played, how he controlled and accelerated? He has already become a top-class football player.
“Before he was a little boy with good actions and now he is a world-class top player. He’s so good. He can play everywhere but especially in central positions he is really, really, really good.”
The champions' next game is against Premier League strugglers Luton Town in the FA Cup sith round.
