Jordi Hiwula struck twice for Manchester City reserves in their win over Stockport County.
New coach Attilio Lombardo named a strong starting line-up, with the experience of Roque Santa Cruz and World Cup finalist Nigel De Jong alongside exciting prospects including Reece Wabara, Mario Jelavic and Jeremy Helan.
City looked to be going down to a harsh defeat before Hiwula stole the show with a penalty on 86 minutes and a last minute goal to seal the game.
