Elite Development Squad head coach Brian Barry-Murphy says he was delighted to see Kane Taylor and Jaden Heskey on the scoresheet in our 4-0 UEFA Youth League victory over Young Boys Under-19s.

Both promising attackers bagged respective braces in the strong European success as we extended our unbeaten start in the competition to three matches.

Taylor opened the scoring at the Stockhorn Arena before grabbing his second of the afternoon before the half-time interval.

Despite our commanding lead heading into the second half, City’s youngsters didn’t take our foot off the gas and added two more goals to our tally thanks to the brilliance of Heskey.

And Barry-Murphy believes the duo epitomise the hard-working nature of the group and that they deserved their goals in Thun.

“I wouldn’t say I have favourites, but I’ve said previously you don’t always get the players you want to score, to score,” he explained.

“Those players have been incredible for us in this competition and in the EFL Trophy and they go under the radar in terms of how good they are.

“To see them get that reward for their performances over the last however long is very satisfying and very big for the dressing room because it gives good substance to how hard we’re going to see our players work again.  

“[I’m] very pleased [overall]. I thought it was a difficult game during the first half and we created some very good chances but also had some scares in our box on the right hand side.

“The scoreline at the end is very satisfying and the players are over the moon.”
