Iheanacho shines against Liverpool



Flying Eagles playmaker, Kelechi Iheanacho, continued his impressive display for Manchester City in the team’s pre-season tour with a sterling display against Liverpool on Wednesday.


But the English champions lost 1-3 on penalties to Liverpool after a 2-2 draw, with Iheanacho converting City’s lone spot kick.

He started on the bench for the first time in three games, but came on as a second half substitute for James Milner.

It was from his speculative strike at goal that Stevan Jovetic opened the scoring for City.

That advantage was soon cancelled out by Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson before Jovetic made it 2-1.

But Raheem Sterling levelled scores with five minutes of play left, and the game was decided on penalties.

Alexandr Kolarov, Yaya Toure and Jesus Navas all missed for City before Iheanacho converted.

But after Sturridge missed for Liverpool, Emre Can, Henderson and Lucas all found the target for Liverpool, putting the Anfield giants on top of the group at the International Champions Cup tournament.

The two group winners will meet in the final.

  1. Carry on boy! Remain steadfast and focused and don't be like Mikel who stopped the dance before even the dance began.The other day Mikel was telling us about his relationship with Genevieve when Chelsea was looking for clubs to offload him because he has become surplus. to requirement.Now Mikel will have enough time for women before those clubs that want to buy him so that he will be guiding ball and playing back passes come for him.That time he will no longer vie for African best with Toure but World best with Messi,C.Ronaldos ,Suarezs and Neymars. Now he will know why he need to raise his game or if he want let him continue to "save his legs" and play like nothing at stake in any tournament. Hope Iheanacho will rub shoulders with The Naymars and the likes just as you have started doing ready.carry on you have got the mind and heart and God will guide you.Ameen

    1. China you are a typical Igbo man.I know you worship. money and fame.Money is your god. But mind you Mikel has not even come close to achieving what Kanu,Eto,George. Weah Messi,c.Ronaldo or Ronaldo da Lima. Is Mikel more more popular than these people? At Mikel's age he should be on the ascendancy but you are saying that Mikel. has achieved. so much and perhaps. as an Igbo man so much money therefore. he had reached final bus. Stop in his career .Is that not what you are trying to say.How old is Mikel,pogba,Mutuida,Messi Naymar. But as an Igbo man you are thinking of money A bi! Apologies to my numerous good Igbo friends and colleagues.
