Aston Villa hero Dion Dublin sung the praises of Phil Foden after his cameo in Manchester City's Champions League win against Atletico Madrid.

Though Kevin de Bruyne scored the goal, the post-match analysis centred around Foden, whose impact from the bench was almost instant, creating the goal 79 seconds after coming on in the second half.

It came when the 21-year-old showed quick feet and slipped the ball between the legs of Reinildo and into the path of De Bruyne to coolly slot into the corner.

"Foden came on and played like he was in a playground," Dublin said on BBC Radio 5 Live. "It is like the ball is stuck to his foot.

"He is always looking forward and being positive. The sky blue shirts changed their body language and they were all making runs when he came on.

"De Bruyne scored, but it all came from Foden's vision, his pass and his quality."
