Video: Surprise Man City player scores incredible volley in Champions League clash

Man City have already taken the lead in their Champions League round of 16 second leg clash with Copenhagen but the goal was a stunner from a surprise source in Manuel Akanji.

The Premier League champions were 3-1 up from the first leg and that has allowed Pep Guardiola to rest players ahead of a crucial clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

The goal came inside the opening five minutes as Akanji latched onto a Julian Alvarez corner to produce a stunning volley to give City the lead and neutrals will worry for the Danish side over what the score could be by the time the full-time whistle is blown.
