England's future go head-to-head in Youth Cup final
[Getty Images] Manchester City host rivals Manchester United in Thursday's FA Youth Cup final and two of England's hottest prospects go head-to-head for the trophy. City striker Teddie Lamb has scored 28 goals in just 27 games in all competitions this season, helping the side to winning the Premier League North title. Meanwhile, United forward JJ Gabriel has netted just one fewer in the same number of games.
"You do everything in your power to make your team win," said 16-year-old Lamb. "For me, either being selfish or being unselfish can help but you obviously have that as a striker. That is what makes you hungry and want to score goals.
"When I was on England camp with him [Gabriel], I was saying, 'you need to stop scoring so I can get that top spot'. It's healthy competition and it pushes me and I think it'll push him, so he wants to score more goals. "It's pushed me to my limits this season to want to score more goals.
It's just the pride you have as a striker, you always want to score goals. "
