Iheanacho relishes Manchester City’s emphatic victory over Crystal Palace

Kelechi Iheanacho expressed his delight in Manchester City’s 5-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace in Sunday's English Premier League encounter.

Pep Guardiola’s men turned the party at the Etihad Stadium two minutes into the game courtesy of a David Silva’s strike followed by Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling and Nicolas Otamendi’s second half goals.

Iheanacho was introduced as a second half substitute for Gabriel Jesus in the 84th minute but was unable to boost his goals tally from four in 19 league games.
