Cavan Sullivan is rapidly becoming exactly the player many believed he would be. The 16-year-old is due to join Manchester City once he turns 18, but for the moment he is continuing his development in Major League Soccer.

And on this evening against Red Bull New York, he demonstrated precisely why some regard him as the finest American prospect in living memory.

After impressing against Inter Miami last week, Sullivan was on the scoresheet again this evening, and he did it in real style.

Here was a classy finish from the youngster.

He should only keep improving from here. Just how good can this kid become!?
