Iheanacho wins first trophy with Manchester City

By Daily Sports on February 29, 2016

Kelechi Iheanacho claimed his first-ever piece of silverware for Manchester City in their English League Cup triumph on Sunday.

Manuel Pellegrini’s men silenced Liverpool 3-1 on penalties after the game had finished 1-1 after extra-time at Wembley.

Iheanacho, though made the substitutes bench but was not thrown into the fray by his Argentine manager who brought in Pablo Zabaleta, Wilfried Bony and Jesus Navas.

The Nigerian was on target for the Manchester based outfit in their 5-1 defeat of Crystal Palace and also found the back of the net in their 4-1 win against Hull City in the fifth round.

The Citizens squandered a number of chances to win it in 90 minutes and paid the price when Coutinho powered home late on with Liverpool's first shot on target and extra-time did not produce a winner.

But Willy Caballero's heroics means City win the competition for the second time in three seasons and the fourth time overall in what is manager l Pellegrini’s final season in charge of the club.

City’s previous success in 2014 was followed up by a Premier League crown and that trophy remains up for grabs this season, along with the Champions League. (Goal.com)
