Further strikes from Riyad Mahrez (2), Kyle Walker and Cole Palmer saw City coast to three points in matchday three of the UEFA Champions League group stages.
Cancelo had nothing but praise for Foden after the victory.
“It was a great pass from Phil [Foden],” he said. “He is a fantastic player and it was a fantastic pass. I’m not surprised about his pass.
“He is a great talent and has a lot of skills. He is one of the best young players I’ve played with. He has a promising future and will be one of the best in the world.
“It was a very special night for all of us, for me as well. The most important thing is the team.”
