Watch: Vinicius with a sensational solo effort against Manchester City
It took another moment of brilliance to get Real Madrid back into Tuesday's thrilling Champions League tilt against Manchester City.
Moments after Phil Foden scored City's third of the evening from close range, Vinicius Junior responded with a spectacular individual goal to make it 3-2 at the Etihad Stadium.
After losing Fernandinho at midfield with a slick turn, the Brazilian attacker showcased his lightning-fast pace before firing a shot past Ederson from close range.
