Kompany said: “He’s just a fearless player, it doesn’t really matter who he’s up against.

“He was up against a top full-back against Arsenal but he’s done it in every single game, because in every game he’s managed to create and make something happen.

“Against Arsenal it was also a better performance defensively for him because that’s something he can put in the memory bank and draw back on.

“He’s a player that is eager to show his talents in this league and he’s showing good signs.”
