Nigerian youngster Kelechi Icheanacho scored for Manchester City on his debut for the first team against Sporting Kansas City in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday in the United State.
Iheanacho who has been training with City
over the past few weeks, stroked home the fourth on full-time from a Jesus Navas assist to complete the 4-1 rout of the MLS side.
Midfielder Bruno Zuculini, struck the ball home from 20 yards out to give the Kansas City keeper no chance but the hosts equalised later in the half when CJ Sapong settle the scores.
City regained the lead on half-time when Dedryck Boyata headed home Jesus Navas' superb cross and the Blues kicked on again after the break.
Though Sporting KC could have drawn level a couple of times only to
be denied by a mixture of poor finishing and good goal-keeping by Willy
Caballero, it was City who turned the screw with two more goals in the
closing stages. First Sinclair was brought down in the box and Aleks Kolarov buried the penalty kick to make it 3-1 and before Iheanacho capped an impressive debut.
