What's the story behind this ?
Manchester City under-18s allowed Manchester United to score straight from the kick-off after a mix-up between the United players and their goalkeeper in the build-up to the City goal.
With City 2-0 down as half-time neared, the away side were pushing hard for a goal as they looked to rescue the game.
A confusing piece of play led to Tai Sodje rolling the ball into the net to hand City a crucial goal.
However, in the build-up to the goal, Sodje latched onto a passback to the United goalkeeper that stemmed from an injury.
United had put the ball out of play due to a prior injury. Sodje, not understanding the situation, latched onto the backpass and scored.
City, however, showed their sportsmanship, allowing United to score a third goal, reinstating the two-goal difference between the teams.
