Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Phil Foden was back to his best for their 4-1 victory at Bournemouth.
Goals from Julian Alvarez, Erling Haaland, Foden and a Chris Mepham own-goal ensured a comfortable victory at the Vitality Stadium.
Guardiola says Foden's display against Bournemouth proved just how valuable he is to the team.
No one from managers, staff or players and even fans can doubt Phil," he said.
Still we cannot forget he is a young lad and a young player and there are periods where you have injuries and the ankle is not comfortable, but always he is there his work ethic how he helps and tries to do it.
Sometimes you are not brilliant like he normally is, but I'm sure this goal will help him and next Tuesday there will be another opportunity, and everyone is going to help us as we have a lot of games.
Everyone will be important. You cannot do it with 11 players.
If you have one game a week it's not necessary to use a lot of players but this is not the case.
We are lucky that we are still in three competitions now in February with many important games coming and every game we will play the best way to win it."
