The goal was a third for Foster who is having an impressive start to life in the Premier League and Kompany believes there could be more to come from the South African.
"Yeah Lyle has had a massive impact on us this season and anytime he plays he looks a threat and I'm sure he will look back at this game and think he's on the way to hopefully being a good striker in this league," Kompany told the club's media post-match.
