Iheanacho scored twice, in the 64th and 74th minutes, and was brought down for the penalty in the 43rd minute from which Sergio Aguero scored.

The 19-year-old expressed happiness at his performance at the Etihad Stadium but was quick to salute the contributions of his teammates in his steady development.

“I am very pleased and I am very happy to score goals,” he told after the game.

“I thank my teammates, my teammates and my manager for helping me achieve this.”

Iheanacho will hope to be in action for Manchester City when they host Real Madrid in the first leg of their Manchester City semi-final clash.

Like we reported earlier, Manchester City have kicked off contract talks with the forward who now has scored 11 goals in all competitions this season.

He has become a regular for City’s first since he gain promotion at the end of the season.
