The 19-year-old winger is on loan at Glasgow club Celtic from Manchester City.
And he opened the scoring in the dead rubber at the Etihad tonight with a great finish beyond Willy Caballero.
He drove in from the right hand side beating Gael Clichy before firing goalwards in the sixth minute to stun the Etihad.

Patrick Roberts stunned City by scoring Celtic's opener at the Etihad
Caballero, in for no.1 Claudio Bravo tonight, was unable to force it away despite getting his body to the ball.
Celtic are already out of Europe and will finish bottom of the group regardless of how tonight pans out.
City meanwhile made nine changes as they can only finish second behind Barcelona but are already through to the knockout rounds.
How about that?! @ManCity loanee @patrick7roberts returns to the Etihad to haunt Pep's side. ������ #UCL #CityvCeltic https://t.co/f9UsMwi155
