Rico Lewis has been hailed for showing the right attitude after helping Manchester City’s Under-18s conquer Blackburn in the FA Youth Cup just over a month since featuring in the Champions League against Sevilla.
The right-back made his European bow in October when he featured in the 5-0 home group stage win over Copenhagen. Two months earlier, the 18-year-old had made his senior debut in the 4-0 win over Bournemouth in the club’s second Premier League game of the season, coming on as a late substitute.
Lewis lined up on a bitterly cold night for the Under-18s on Wednesday, as City eased past Blackburn 3-0 thanks to an effort from Will Dickson and a double from Jaden Heskey, son of former England striker Emile.
