Manchester City Under-15s hammered their Manchester United counterparts 9-0 for the second year in a row - and the grandson of Blues legends Mike Doyle and Glyn Pardoe was pivotal to the win.

Tommy Doyle bagged five assists as the team ran riot against their local rivals in the Floodlit Cup on Tuesday night.

It was the latest in a string of derby successes so far this season.

The first team and Under-18s have both picked up victories in their respective games while a point for Simon Davies's EDS side has helped them to the top of the Premier League 2.

The U15s are causing a buzz in their age group.

Last month saw them crowned national champions, beating Chelsea 5-1 along the way.

Academy director Mark Allen said at the time: “It was a fantastic squad effort. There were a lot of games across the weekend so to play to such a standard shows the level of the squad.

“We have come up against a number of top quality academies from this country but also to beat some of the best in Europe to the trophy is something to be proud of."

City are defending champions in the Floodlit Cup, having beaten West Brom 4-1 in last season's final back in April.

The knockout competition aims to help young players adapt to the evening conditions they will have to face more regularly as they move closer towards the professional game.
