“He deserves a lot of credit, but it's 45 minutes of football. He scored an extraordinary goal the other night and I know how talented he is.

“Our job is to guide him in the right direction over the next few years and not let him get too excited right now.

“I'm sure he'll have some bumps as well. We'll make sure he doesn't get too low at that point and try to keep him on track.”

City's victory has extended their Premier League winning streak to seven after losing their opening match against Liverpool 3-1.

They are at the top of the table and two points ahead of Brighton, with 30 goals scored and only eight conceded.
