The Croatia international netted a brace while Phil Foden and Julian Alvarez scored a goal each as <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-player-ratings-vs-fulham-josko-gvardiol-bernardo-silva/blt6cc61b64d2d72b8a" target="_blank">Manchester City thrashed Fulham 4-0</a> on Saturday to climb to the top of the Premier League table ahead of Arsenal's clash against Manchester United on Sunday.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Manager Guardiola was elated to see the defender contribute with goals as he lavished praise on the City star by calling him the 'best winger on the planet'. The Catalan manager also spoke highly of Gvardiol's work ethic.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Speaking on BBC Radio Manchester, the City boss said: "The first goal, we signed the best winger in the planet. He’s an incredible guy, can play in different positions. After Wolves I gave three days off, he was the only one who went to the training centre for his recovery. He lives for his profession. We make an incredible signing for many, many years to come."He added to Match of the Day: "Absolutely unexpected. He is unbelievable with both feet. Normally the left is difficult to find, he is more comfortable with his right. A big goal at Santiago Bernabeu, the goal today with the right foot. Second half he was not at his best, lot a lot of balls, and as a defender, you have to be tight. For him to add the goals he is it is more than welcome, but he has to be more tight. But he is 21 years old and he will improve."
