Carlos Borges sends message as Man City U21s beat Derby County in Papa John's Trophy

Manchester City's under-21s were inspired by Carlos Borges as the winger scored twice in an impressive 3-1 victory against Derby County in the Papa John's Trophy.

Borges gave the Blues the lead with a fine strike which flew past Scott Loach in the Rams goal into the roof of the net. The hosts were level just ten minutes later though as City failed to clear a corner and David McGoldrick tapped home.

The Portuguese star added his second 15 minutes after the break in controversial fashion, rounding the 'keeper before tapping home superbly but the home fans felt there was a foul just beforehand. Borges' thought he completed his hat-trick in the first minute of stoppage time as he tapped home a cross but it was adjudged as a Craig Forsyth own goal.
