SUPER Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as
Manchester City prepared for their Champions League semi-final against Real
Madrid with a straightforward 4-0 Premier League victory over Stoke City on
Saturday.
Fernando put the hosts ahead in the 35th minute before
star striker Sergio Aguero doubled the lead for City with a clinical spot-kick.
19-year-old Iheanacho then added the third from close
range before scoring the fourth goal to seal an emphatic win.
The goals took the Nigerian forward's tally to 11 for the
campaign, Sportsbiz247 reports.
The result sees City leapfrog Arsenal into third - until
the Gunners play on Sunday at least - and open up a five-point gap rivals
Manchester United in fifth.
City's joy at the result was tempered somewhat by an
injury picked up by Yaya Toure in the closing stages. The midfielder soldiered
on to the final whistle, but there will be concerns over his fitness ahead of
the Madrid double-header.
