And he was able to get on the board within the first ten minutes.

Reigan stepped up to take a penalty in the early stages of the encounter against Young Boys and brilliantly placed the ball into the bottom-right corner.

With his teammates surrounding him, the 15-year-old immediately wheeled away in happiness.

Man City won the game courtesy of goals from Mahamadou Susoho and Matthew Henderson-Hall.

His older brother, Jaden Heskey, also played

And Jaden Heskey, who also played for Manchester City on the day, was eager to applaud his younger brother at full-time.

“It was insane,” he claimed. He was actually at school at the time and found out [that he was in the squad] there. Then I got a text from my mother saying he was playing, and today we found out he was starting.

“It was a big surprise, but it was a good surprise.”

“I had faith in him because he won it himself and is normally very good at penalties.”

“I didn’t think the atmosphere would get to him too much.”

The boys’ father was in the crowd at Joie Stadium as City strolled to a comfortable victory.

On Tuesday afternoon, he took to Instagram to express his joy, saying, “Proud moment for me and @chantelleheskey having both our boys on the pitch at the same time for UEFA Youth League.”

Heskey, 45, began his professional career at Leicester City, where he made his debut at the age of 17.

In 2000, he joined Liverpool, where he scored 60 goals and assisted 29 times in 223 games.

The striker’s spell at Anfield coincided with his international debut for England.

Heskey appeared in 62 games for the Three Lions, scoring seven goals.

He also played for Birmingham, Wigan, Aston Villa, Bolton, and the Newcastle Jets in Australia before retiring in 2016.
