Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola praised the club’s academy after teenager Rico Lewis grabbed the headlines in Wednesday’s come-from-behind 3-1 Champions League win over Sevilla.

Right-back Lewis marked his first senior start 19 days shy of his 18th birthday by grabbing the equaliser to cancel out Rafa Mir’s first-half header before goals from Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez completed the turnaround.
