Six years ago Micah Hamilton was a ball boy at Manchester City when pictured getting instructions from Pep Guardiola to speed up play.
Yesterday he was scoring in the Champions League on his senior debut.
The attacking midfielder, who turned 20 last month, jinked inside then outside a defender before firing into the roof of the net to give City a 1-0 lead at Red Star Belgrade in the 19th minute.
Oscar Bobb, also 20, doubled City's lead early in the second half of the 3-2 win.
The defending champions had already secured their place in the last 16 as Group G winners, allowing Guardiola the luxury to make nine changes.
Raised in Manchester, Hamilton joined City at seven and progressed through the age groups. He was an unused substitute for games against Newcastle in the League Cup and Young Boys in the Champions League.
