Manchester City's youngsters just can't stop scoring hat-tricks. In the same week Ryan McAidoo came off the bench in the UEFA Youth League to get three in 18 minutes - including two in two touches within two minutes of entering the play - Divine Mukasa is the latest starlet to get his hands on a match ball.

City kept pressure on rivals Manchester United with a 7-1 win over Newcastle in the U18 Premier League on Saturday. Reigan Heskey continued his fine form with a 15th goal of the season, with McAidoo on the scoresheet again alongside Finley Gorman and Dante Headley in a dominant first half.

From the resulting kick-off, he strode up to the ball and lobbed the goalkeeper directly from the restart to restore the four-goal lead.

He chested in a cross for an inventive second, before tapping in a hat-trick goal a little over half an hour after his first.
