|
Manchester City boss Kevin Keegan paid tribute to Shaun Wright-Phillips after their comprehensive win at Portsmouth.
Wright-Phillips endured a torrid time for England but Keegan said: "You can see why I didn't want to leave him out.
"He's the best young player in England by a long way, with more courage, desire and heart than anyone I have ever worked with.
"He will go to the very top and his will be a name people will talk about for years to come."
Keegan added: "We deserved to win. This is a difficult place to come.
"But we defended well and with a player like Shaun Wright-Phillips in your team you have always got a chance.
Keegan also paid tribute to Robbie Fowler, who looked sharp, despite not getting on the scoresheet.
The City boss said: "He's worked hard on his fitness and he got the opportunity today when we lost Nicolas Anelka.
