Reigan Heskey was in class at school on Monday when he got the call that he would be playing for Manchester City under-19s in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday.

Reigan, 15, is the son of former Liverpool and England striker Emile, who was in the stands at the Joie Stadium to see two of his children line up for City for the first time.

Older brother Jaden, 17, has stepped up for the academy this season, and led the line against Young Boys with Reigan on the wing. "I've never played with him before so it was the first time," Jaden told MEN Sport after the 3-0 win with a smile. "He's always been two years below me so he's stayed with his age group.

For him to play with me today was surreal."
