Manchester City could have something special in their junior setup.

Blackburn Rovers were swept aside 8-0 on home turf by a rampant City U18 team, with goals coming courtesy of two each from Ahmad Benali, Alex Nimely-Tchuimeni and Chris Chantler, while Robbie Mak and Andrew Tutte chipped in with one each.

The young Blues have now rattled in 38 goals in 10 games, having put nine and six past Middlesbrough and Barnsley respectively.
