Phil Foden has been labelled as 'the best young player' on the planet by ecstatic Manchester City supporters.
The 21-year-old was chosen to lead the line against Brighton this afternoon - operating in that 'false nine' position, with Gabriel Jesus and £100million man Jack Grealish starting either side of him.
Having starred in a similar role against Club Brugge, the England sensation took his output to a new level with two first-half goals at the Amex Stadium.
There was some confusion about his first, though, with Dan Burn seemingly getting the final touch.
Foden's two strikes came after returning Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan marked his return to the City line-up - after replacing Kevin de Bruyne - with his first goal of the Premier League season.
Here are a selection of comments about Foden's performance from City supporters on social media;
