Pep Guardiola described Liam Delap as a "killer" after he finally made his Manchester City return after six months of injury trouble.
The 18-year-old almost capped his 15-minute appearance as a substitute by heading in Ilkay Gundogan 's cross as the Blues beat Fulham 4-1 in the FA Cup, only for the linesman's flag to rule it out for offside.
But Guardiola gave the youngster the ultimate boost by extolling his virtues, and mentioning how, despite his tender years, he can physically dominate senior pros.
