In the last switch made by Manchester City's U18 coach Gareth Taylor at Bearwood Park, Sodje replaced Sammy Robinson with seven minutes left on the clock.

Cole Palmer, Liam Delap and Alex Robertson were Manchester City's other scorers while Imari Samuels and Melvin-Lambert found the net for the home team.
A product of the Sheffield United Academy, Tai Sodje turned down the chance to join Liverpool and Everton before transferring to Manchester City in 2015.
In the final of the Premier League Cup, Manchester City will face Stoke City, who beat Chelsea in the other semifinal.
