Chelsea wanted Man City whiz Mak

Manchester City management are delighted with the progress of Slovakian teenager Robbie Mak.

Bratislava-born Mak, who has been with City three years, turned down the chance to join Chelsea and opted instead for City because he felt he would have more of a chance to make his mark at senior level.

And he struck City's winner in their FA Youth Cup tie with Norwich City on the weekend. He told the club's website: "Scoring goals is my job so I am very happy.

"That was a fantastic finish, I really liked it. It was a little bit lucky. I finished with my toe! But it was great to have a crowd, it does inspire you."
