Micah Hamilton scores his first Man City goal on his senior debut as the 20-year-old fires Pep Guardiola’s side ahead in Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade

Micah Hamilton, 20, will always remember his Manchester City debut after scoring a stunning goal for Pep Guardiola’s side against Red Star Belgrade on Wednesday.

The youngster progressed through the ranks of City’s youth academy and was finally given the opportunity to make his first-team debut in Serbia in the club’s final group stage match.

City manager Guardiola has made a host of changes, with the reigning European champions having already qualified for the next round of the Champions League and Hamilton being cleared to start on the wing.

Continuing down the right flank, Hamilton was pushed into space by Matheus Nunez and took a touch before rounding the opposition defender and firing his shot into the back of the net.

Red Star goalkeeper Omri Glazer stretched helplessly to take a powerful shot as the City players and coaching staff on the bench rose to celebrate the rising star’s first senior goal.

“What a moment for Hamilton. Just talking about intensity, just think he held his run back too, smart, little shift, and look at that for the strike.

Robbie Savage calls Hamilton’s first goal for Manchester City a ‘special moment’

“Power beats the keeper, he just moves it and then slots it in at the near post.

“It’s a great shot, higher than the goalkeeper, faster than the goalkeeper, City’s first shot on target results in a goal.

“What a moment for the youngster and I’m sure no matter the score he’ll want to win the game but after the game he’ll turn on his phone and get messages.”

“It was a great moment the first time he started in a Champions League match and scored with such confidence,” he added.
