LONDON. — Pep Guardiola labelled Phil Foden as “incredible” after Manchester City survived a scare to start their English Premier League title challenge with a 3-1 win against Wolves on Monday night.
City’s delayed start to the campaign — due to their involvement in last season’s Champions League — had allowed Liverpool to build a six-point lead over them before they had even kicked a ball.
Guardiola’s side could not afford to slip up at Molineux if they wanted to keep pace with the champions and they raced into a two-goal lead before half-time thanks to Kevin De Bruyne’s penalty and Foden’s cool finish.
