Brian Barry-Murphy has highlighted how much Carlos Borges has improved the defensive side of his game following Manchester City Under-21s' destruction of Manchester United, a game in which he scored four goals.
City thrashed their local rivals 6-1 at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday, even though it was United who actually took the lead early on through Rhys Bennett's header. The first half was evenly contested, with both sides playing nice football and looking to create chances.
It was the Blues who found the next goal, though, as Borges got the first of his haul after latching on to Shea Charles' smart through ball and nudging it past Radek Vitek. The freezing, torrential rain meant the quality decreased after the break and United actually had the better of the opening stages as Charlie McNeill twice went close.
