Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho on Sunday showed why he was voted MVP of the last FIFA World Cup for U-17 men in UAE, as he helped English Premier League champions Manchester City rout Italy’s AC Milan 5 – 1 in a weather-hit friendly at Heinz Field, home of the NFL’s Pittsburgh Steelers.
Manuel Pellegrini’s men stormed into an early 2-0 lead, thanks to strikes from Stevan Jovetic in the 11th minute and Scott Sinclair in the 14th, the two making the most of a Mi- lan defence that struggled with Manchester City’s pace down the right flank.
City continued to dominate and added a third as Jesus Navas’s acrobatic effort from outside the area was deflected past helpless Milan goalkeeper, Michael Agazzi in the 23rd minute.
City added a fourth after 26 minutes, when Nigerian teen- ager Kelechi Iheanacho, who had been training with the club for several weeks, picked the ball up on the edge of the box, turned and slotted it home.
Sulley Muntari pulled one back for Milan shortly before half-time, making it 4-1 go- ing into the break, which was extended as fans were cleared from the stands because of a heavy thunderstorm that brought lightning and a tornado warning.
