Junior Citizens boast impressive firepower

Last month, Manchester City secured their first English title since 1968 in some style, scoring 93 goals in 38 Premier League games.

Nicknamed the Citizens, the average of 2.45 goals a game last season highlighted the attacking prowess of the team.
City’s Under-15 side, the club’s academy team, did even better.

The Junior Citizens - they will take part in the Canon Lion City Cup which kicks off on Saturday – scored a whopping 124 goals in just 27 matches played last season.

That’s an average of 4.6 goals a game.

City’s juniors won 23, drew two and lost two of their sparring matches - there are no competitive leagues for English teams in that age group.
