Manchester City Under-23s romped to victory last night as they thrashed Leicester 6-1 in the latest Premier League 2 clash.

Liam Delap scored twice, with a brace from Felix Nmecha and goals from Ben Knight and Alexander Robertson ensuring a comfortable night.

City’s young guns are sat pretty at the top of the division and are three points clear of Tottenham having played a game less.

After the game, all the talk was about talisman Delap and the youngster looks set for a really bright future.

The 18-year-old has made a breakthrough into the first-team this season. He came on a substitute in the FA Cup, started in the Carabao Cup and has also been introduced from the bench in the Premier League.

He looks set for a really positive future at the Etihad Stadium and he’s bang in form for the under-23 ranks.

Delap has found the net 14 times in 12 appearances for Paul Harsley’s under-23 ranks and is looking the part.

He’s also claimed four assists this season, showcasing his undoubted ability to bring other players into the game too.

Following last night’s result, City fans were keen to praise the youngster for his current form on Twitter.

Here is what the fan base had to say about the future star striker.
