Pep Guardiola said that “no one in the world” could deny Phil Foden’s quality and urged Manchester City’s playmaker to push himself to be recalled by Thomas Tuchel for England after he scored twice in the 4-1 home Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday.

Foden’s sumptuous strikes, on 22 and 57 minutes, were complemented by a rasping first-half finish from Erling Haaland and Rayan Cherki’s late goal. Waldemar Anton netted a consolation for the visitors as City moved into fourth in the 36-team league phase table with 10 points from four matches.
