Emile Heskey’s son scores brace as Man City Under-18s progress in FA Youth Cup

Jaden Heskey, the son of former England striker Emile, found the net twice in two minutes for Manchester City Under-18s in their 3-0 FA Youth Cup third-round win over Blackburn Rovers on Wednesday evening.

The substitute bagged both second-half goals after Will Dickson had put the hosts ahead on 42 minutes. Heskey fired in from the narrow angle on 78 minutes as he latched onto a shot that had been parried before powering home a stinging drive just over 60 seconds after the restart.

The match had started rather bizarrely after the officials realised they had to change their tops after their black jerseys clashed with the dark blue away strip of Blackburn. But that didn’t distract Heskey from notching his third and fourth goals of the season.
