Man City have already taken the lead in their Champions League round of 16 second leg clash with Copenhagen but the goal was a stunner from a surprise source in Manuel Akanji.
The Premier League champions were 3-1 up from the first leg and that has allowed Pep Guardiola to rest players ahead of a crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday.
The goal came inside the opening five minutes as Akanji latched onto a Julian Alvarez corner to produce a stunning volley to give City the lead and neutrals will worry for the Danish side over what the score could be by the time the full-time whistle is blown.
