Manchester City U23 coach Brian Barry-Murphy was delighted with their Prem 2 victory over Chelsea.
After going behind in the early stages, a Tai Sodje brace along with a penalty from James McAtee and late strike from Sam Edozie secured the points at the Academy Stadium.
After the 4-1 win, the coach praised Edozie and Cole Palmer, with the pair now training regularly with the first team.
"The opportunities they get to train at that level, you can see the influence it has on themselves but also on the rest of the group," he explained to City's website.
"From my point of view, it has been significant that the ones who trained with us on the international break and during the week when those players were with the first team, have been really focused and concentrating on what they are doing.
"So when they come back on a game day, in terms of their organisation you would say it may be a challenge but it's not, it works really well.
"Towards the end of last season, a lot for our lads were pretty fatigued but to see them attack right until the end is testament to the way they want to play the game.
"My job is to push as hard as I can and my feeling is that I can push really hard in the next phase of the season."
