Teenage stud Mbappe roasts City, becomes UCL's 2nd-youngest French scorer

Get used to hearing Kylian Mbappe’s name.

Monaco’s 18-year-old phenom, tipped to be the next superstar of French football, gave his side a 2-1 lead at Manchester City on Tuesday when the blossoming teenager latched onto a long, aerial ball and smacked a right-footed effort beyond Willy Caballero.

The goal followed an equaliser from Radamel Falcao eight minutes earlier, as a contest that promised to be enthralling delivered exactly that during an end-to-end opening half at the Etihad.
