This is a massive month for Iheanacho. He needs game time, well, here's his chance. If he starts tonight we're giving him five games to show what he can do. We all know he's capable of getting four or five goals; now it's down to him because shortly after this run ends Jesus will arrive.
 
Looked electric at times, still a few sloppy passes and heavy touches but this would have set him up nicely for Leicester.

Have to say the service must have frustrated him. He was so close to being through on goal half a dozen times only for the pass to just not quite make it to him because of a toe on the through ball from Celtic.
 
Constantly on the move, looking to get in behind, with our first team players our there he would have had a hat-trick. Might be a blessing that he will now get a run of games, I don't think Sergio would have scored that goal in his current form.

Cant argue with this stat either:
 
Just thought I would note that it was him that won the ball back in City's own half before he ran back to score.
 
Took his goal really well. I still think his first touch needs serious work though, particularly because of the system we play. Something just tells me he won't start on Saturday but will play v Watford.

Yes I liked his movement, Silva and KdB are more likely to find him with the final ball in the upcoming games.

if i'm being critical, there were a couple of occasions he mistimed his runs quite badly, one of which was a peach of a cross (Sane? Navas?) that the centre half got to with his head but the replay showed that Kelechi was a yard too far forward anyway even if the centre half missed it. The other was his clever backheel/drag thing but really he needed to check his run instead of going right in behind the defender.
anyway, nitpicking.
