"Maybe the people who know me know that I was influenced by the example set by the man who scored an incredible goal for Barcelona against Atlante years ago," he said.

I thought it was the same when Erling scored. Erling is similar to Ibrahimovic in that he can put the leg on the roof.

He is elastic, flexible and has the ability to put the ball in the net. His parents give him flexibility.

In the first half, City didn't register a shot on target and fell behind to a Jude Bellingham goal.

John Stones, who was playing at right-back, hit a 20-yard rocket after 80 minutes to level the score.

We weren't in the right pace. John Stones scored. John Stones didn't shoot in the first half, but we were in the right place at the right time.

John was in the right place at the right time. We can't play for 60 or 65 minutes. Every day you have to perform well. It is a good learning experience.

The 19-year-old Bellingham was branded an exceptional player by the coach after the game.

Bellingham said that they were brilliant for most of the game. We didn't give them much to do. The good players weren't necessarily killing us in dangerous areas.

"Obviously great teams, you give them a yard and they can deliver, they can hurt you, and that's what they did tonight."
