Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: Patrick Roberts' goal was fantastic... we are going to think about his future at the end of this season

Patrick Roberts stole the show by scoring against his parent club as Manchester City's Champions League group campaign ended with a low-key draw against Celtic.

The 19-year-old attacker, who has been on loan with the Scottish champions since February, struck after just four minutes as Celtic held City 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium.

It was an excellent way to catch the eye of City boss Pep Guardiola, who while reluctant to overdo the praise, will consider the youngster for a role in his squad when he returns south next summer.
