​Phil Foden took just 80 seconds to make an impact for Manchester City against Atletico Madrid, creating a brilliant goal for Kevin De Bruyne.

​Foden entered the fray in the 68th minute with the game goalless, and wasted no time to make an instant impression. 

Rodri played the ball into the feet of the England international, who took a couple of touches to create an opening. 

After facing the goal, the 21-year-old pierced a delightful ball to De Bruyne who slotted home to break the deadlock. 

All Man City needed was Phil Foden on the pitch 😅

Credit also has to go to Pep Guardiola for the inspired changes after failing to score a goal in the first half.

Brilliant from @PhilFoden. Clinical finish from @DeBruyneKev. Not a bad substitution from Pep.

One tweeted: "Foden most gifted English player I’ve ever seen."

A second wrote: "Instant impact from Foden, so good."

A third joked: "Phil Foden could find space in the front row at Glastonbury."

Foden's brilliance proved crucial as they take a one goal lead into the return leg next Wednesday.
