Flying Eagles teen star Kelechi Iheanacho led City Elite Development revenge mission on Tuesday as they hammered Southampton under-21s at St Mary’s on Tuesday night 4-0.
Three days on from their 2-0 defeat to Saints at the Academy Stadium on Saturday, Patrick Vieira’s side ran out emphatic 4-0 winners in their penultimate Barclays u21 Premier League game of the season.
Aaron Nemane gave City the lead with his first goal at under-21 level after 37 minutes and Olivier Ntcham doubled the advantage with a brilliant long-range strike a minute before the break.
The first period had a pleasing ebb and flow to it with chances at both ends but the away side undoubtedly deserved their two-goal lead as they had seemed to improve and dominate increasingly as the half wore on.
City were even better after the break and found themselves three to the good five minutes into the half when Brandon Barker scored a fine individual goal b efore in-form Kelechi Iheanacho made it 4-0 on the hour to complete the rout.
The result moves City up a place to eighth in the table, just a point behind Southampton with champions Manchester United up next in their final u21 Premier League assignment at City Football Academy on Saturday.
