Manchester City’s under-23 outfit were rampant once again as they thrashed Southampton 7-1. Liam Delap was once again the hero of the hour with a stunning hat-trick – and supporters reacted on Twitter.
The Citizens are top of the league and this was frankly a performance that showcased the champions elect. The Saints young guns had very little to offer in response to a devastating performance.

Delap is proving to be a bit of a goal machine at the Etihad Stadium. He has now found the net 19 times for the under-23s in just 14 appearances and stardom looks to beckon.
The 18-year-old made his Premier League debut earlier this season and the future looks extremely bright for the uncompromising talisman.
City completed the rout through Delap’s hat-trick, two for Felix Nmecha, Adrian Bernabe and Callum Doyle.
After the game the name on the lips of supporters was Delap, however, and here is what they had to say on Twitter.
