minute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Young forward <strong>Divin Mubama<\/strong> found the back of the net after a well-worked attacking move, giving Pep Guardiola&#8217;s

they hope to carry into the competitive season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Manchester City will also take positives from the performance, particularly the display of young striker
