Nigerian youngster Kelechi Iheanacho scored another goal as Stuttgart thrashed Manchester City 4-2 in a pre-season friendly at the Mercedes Benz Arena, Stuttgart, on Saturday.

Iheanacho brought spark to the City attack and came close to scoring twice before his breakthrough. His first sight of goal was in the 60th minute when his inventive backflick beat the keeper but did not have enough pace on it to beat a covering defender.
He then latched on to a through ball in the 74th minute but the Stuttgart keeper was quickly off his line to smother the attempt on goal.
