17-year-old Rico Lewis became Manchester City's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer against Sevilla and looked like he couldn't believe what he just done.
Bury-born Lewis, who has been with City's academy since the age of eight, has made a number of cameo substitute appearances for the first-team after impressing in pre-season.
With City already confirmed to have topped their group following last week's draw with Borussia Dortmund, Pep Guardiola handed Lewis a first start in their final Champions League group game.
He produced a strong showing at right-back and capped off a fine display with a historic goal to open his account for the club.

With City 1-0 down to a Rafa Mir header in the first-half, Julian Alvarez played Lewis in behind and the galloping defender smashed the ball in past Bono at the near post.
He celebrated passionately and had a beaming smile on his face as he was mobbed by teammates. Lewis shared a moment with fellow academy graduate Phil Foden and had his hand on his mouth in disbelief.

Aged 17 and 346 days, Lewis is the second-youngest goalscorer in Champions League history and joins fellow Englishman Jude Bellingham in bagging in Europe's premier competition before his 18th birthday.
City finished the group campaign with a win after summer signing Alvarez got on the end of a gorgeous Kevin De Bruyne assist in the 73rd minute, before the Argentine laid on pass for Riyad Mahrez to secure the win.
