Ben Knight was delighted to score for Manchester City in their friendly defeat of Barnsley.

Amongst the youngsters earning a chance to impress was Knight and he most certainly made the most of his opportunity, netting City's second goal on the half-hour mark.

Reflecting on his performance after playing up front, Knight, who usually tends to operate out wide or as an attacking-midfielder, said: "It was something different. I haven't played as a No.9 loads; I am more of a midfielder or a winger.

"But if Pep is asking me to play there I am not going to say no.

"It was something different and I felt I had been doing quite well. I scored tonight so it was positive."
