Manchester City academy graduate, Micah Hamilton, scored on his senior debut as they stretched their unbeaten run in Europe to 20 games with a 3-2 Champions League victory over Red Star Belgrade in their group stage finale on Wednesday.
Oscar Bobb also netted his first goal for the senior side and Kalvin Phillips scored from a penalty for City, who finished with a perfect 18 points from six group games for the first time.
Hwang In-beom and AleksandarKatai netted late second-half goals at the Rajko Mitic Stadium for Belgrade, who finished bottom with just a point.
The 20-year-old Hamilton,
nine, netted in the 19th minute when he cut around a Belgrade defender then fired from a tight angle into the far corner.
Bobb, who is also 20, doubled the lead in the 62nd minute when he dribbled at the Red Star defence before tucking a shot into the bottom corner.
In a game that meant little to City and nothing to the Group G standings, manager Pep Guardiola made nine changes to the side that played in their 2-1 Premier League win at Luton Town on Sunday. City’s league-leading scorer,ErlingHaaland, did not play at Luton due to a foot injury and did not travel to Belgrade. –Reuters
