The Englishman nets in a 7-0 thrashing at the Etihad Stadium which takes the Premier League champions into the quarter-finals

Phil Foden became Manchester City's youngest Champions League goalscorer as the Premier League champions put seven past Schalke to progress to the quarter-finals.

The 18-year-old latched onto a through pass by Leroy Sane - his third assist of the night - and rounded goalkeeper Ralf Fahrmann before slotting into an empty net.

At 18 years and 288 days, Foden is the youngest Englishman to net in the competition's knock-out stage, and fourth overall behind Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jadon Sancho and Theo Walcott.

"Every time I come on I just try to enjoy my football," he told BT Sport. "I try to concentrate and improve. I enjoy scoring goals.

"You are learning all the time in the changing rooms, on the touchline and when you come on. I am learning every day. I will try to keep improving each day.

"They are all great lads and great players so it is just a pleasure to be here."

It was a night of records for Pep Guardiola's men who became the third English side into the last eight for the first time since 2010-11.
