By Akeem Lawal
SUPER Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho says he is more confident in front of goal after scoring once again in Manchester City's 4-0 Premier League win over Bournemouth on Saturday.

Iheanacho then netted in the 25th minute to record his third consecutive  goal this season for the Citizens before providing an assist for Raheem Sterling to get City’s third goal on 48 minutes.

Germany international, Ilkay Gundogan also netted his first goal for the club to put the result beyond doubt.

Iheanacho has impressed in the absence of the suspended Sergio Aguero said he will continue to work hard everyday and take his chances whenever opportunities arise.
"I feel great," Iheanacho said.

"I need to keep improving and working hard every day to take my opportunity. I'm feeling good every time I play with my team-mates, playing to instruction to play good."

The 19-year-old  also revealed Kevin De Bruyne's clever free-kick goal in on Saturday was planned in advance to exploit a defensive weakness. 

"I think we have seen that they jump in the wall with a free-kick this close to the goal, so Kevin took that [plan] into the game and it was a brilliant free-kick.

"It was a great performance from the team, in the first half and the second half," he said.
