Now we have it direct from the horse\u2019s mouth \u2013 neither Kevin De Bruyne nor Erling Haaland are the best players in the Premier League at present, according to Manchester City supremo, Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n
The City manager has gone on record to voice his opinion after his side racked up yet another victory in the Premier League and extended their unbeaten run across competitions to19 games, going all the way back to mid-December.<\/p>\n
A blistering second-half display inspired by Phil Foden turned around City\u2019s fortunes to diminish the significance of Marcus Rashford\u2019s first-half goal in the Manchester derby.<\/p>\n
Operating with apparent ease and facility on both wings at various stages in the contest, the 23-year-old playmaker stepped up brilliantly to find the net twice, before Erling Haaland would round off the scoring in additional time to make up for his amazing earlier blunder right before the goalmouth that had Guardiola and the Etihad faithful gagging with disbelief.<\/p>\n
Quizzed after the game on whether Phil Foden has what it takes to become one of the best players in the Premier League, Pep Guardiola immediately insisted that, based on current performances, the Manchester City playmaker is already the best player in the division at present.<\/p>\n
