Phil Foden showed his class after Man City beat Chelsea
The youngster has been promoted to the first-team since Pep Guardiola joined the Etihad outfit.
And Foden has since went on to win the Under-17 World Cup and the BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award, joining the likes of Theo Walcott and Michael Owen.
But all this success at such a young age clearly hasn't affected his mentality.
On Sunday, Foden was brought on in the third minute of stoppage time to replace David Silva, and referee Michael Oliver blew the full-time whistle soon after the starlet had entered the field.

“I’m actually just watching Phil Foden out on the pitch and he’s practicing and you might think why am I mentioning that?” said Gary Neville, as he recorded his post-match podcast.
“I’m mentioning that because I don’t see enough of it and actually I’m delighted to see him out there with the fitness coach, about to do some work on his own and I like it.

“I like the fact that he’s a young player who’s taking responsibility for his performance; he’s come on for a couple of minutes but he’s out there - he wants to play.”
Foden still clearly wants to improve despite having the world at his feet at present.
The Stockport-born star has featured seven times for City already this season.
