Man City thump home five goals against RB Leipzig in UYL

Manchester City thrashed RB Leipzig in their opening UEFA Youth League tie on Wednesday.

City secured an impressive 5-1 win over RB Leipzig at the Academy Stadium.

Brian Barry-Murphy's young charges overcame the blow of falling behind inside five minutes to secure a superb triumph.

After skipper James McAtee had drawn City level on 18 minutes, a 26th minute Oscar Bobb penalty gave City the advantage.

And City set the seal on a deserved victory – and the all-important three points – with a marvellous second half showing.

Tai Sodje rounded off a stunning counter-attack on the hour to make it three before Sam Edozie added a fourth on 77 minutes.

McAtee then completing his brace and a five star City display.
