Manchester City stormed to a resounding 7-0 victory over Schalke to seal their qualification into the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Tuesday night, in what was a record-breaking game for the Citizens.

It is a night which will live long in the memories of many, including midfielder Phil Foden. 'The Stockport Iniesta' grabbed City's sixth goal on the evening, rounding Schalke goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann before slotting the ball into an empty net.

In doing so, Foden cemented his place in City's record books as, according to Opta, Foden is now the club's youngest ever Champions League goalscorer, finding the back of the net at age 18 years and 288 days old.
