Manchester City players are so full of confidence that not one but two players imitated Manchester United's hero when demolishing their counterparts on the other side of the city last weekend.
Carlos Borges scored four goals in City's 6-1 Premier League 2 win at the home of United and pulled out Cristiano Ronaldo's newest 'calm' celebration when victory was secured. Also emulating Ronaldo was striker Will Dickson, who recreated the extravagant 'Siuuu' celebration when his goal made the scoreline 5-1. There's rubbing in a derby win, and then there's doing so by celebrating like United's most iconic player.
The two celebrations were evidence of the confidence teeming through the academy, and City had earned the right due to such a devastating scoreline - one that went down extremely well over at the Etihad when the result was read out during the Premier League win over Fulham. Blues coach Brian Barry-Murphy praised the aggression that City showed against United, and they will need a similar mentality this week when they take on EFL opposition in a must-win clash.
