Kelechi Iheanacho Scores In Man City Debut (VIDEO)

Last night, Golden Eaglets star, 17-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho, had his debut game with Manchester City's first team squad and ended up with a goal to his name.

The game was a friendly game against MLS champions Kansas City and Man City head Coach fielded his second team with a mixture of first team experience.

Man City had scored the first goal from a sweet strike by Bruno Zuculini, but then Sapong equalized for the Kansas based team.

Later defender, Dedrick Boyata gave Man City back the lead back and then Kolarove added with a sweet penalty.

Iheanacho then showed Pellegrini how deadly he was when he stroked in a nicely placed pass by Jesus Navas. He sent the ball low into the corner from the edge of the area to put the icing on a top performance.

Pellegrini later talked of the Eagles star and said: "Finally, Kelechi is just 17 years old and he’s a very important player for us in the future.

"He demonstrated today what he can do in the future. It depends on the way he takes this profession, but I think he’s a good talent."

Iheanacho had won the Golden boot and best player at the 2013 FIFA World Under 17 Championship in the UAE.

He was then transferred to Manchester City in a controversial manner, where it was said his father demanded some cut of the transfer fee paid by the club from Manchester.
