Man City youngster Rico Lewis makes Champions League history with goal

Manchester City youngster Rico Lewis will not forget the win over Sevilla in a hurry. The 17-year-old restored parity just after the interval with a fine finish after a clever through ball from Julian Alvarez. In doing so, Lewis set a competition record.

The full-back became the youngest player in UEFA Champions League history to score on his first start in the competition. In doing so he beat the previous record set by Karim Benzema in 2005.

The teenager from Bury also became City 's youngest-ever goalscorer in the Champions League at aged 17 years and 346 days. Among English players, only Jude Bellingham was younger - at 17 years and 289 days - when he scored in Europe's top competition.
