    Manchester City official website wrote: "Kelechi Iheanacho may well have given the most endearing post-match interview we’ve ever seen following his match-winning contribution at Old Trafford.

    "The youngster laughed when he was reminded that he walked in the wrong direction after getting off the team bus before the game but he certainly knew where the goal was when the ball fell to him in the 36th minute.

    "Kelechi admitted that he hadn’t expect De Bruyne’s shot to fall to him but he showed none of this surprise when he instinctively clipped the ball past David De Gea.

    " In doing so, Iheanacho became the youngest City player to score in a Premier League derby and scored his ninth Premier League strike from his 13th shot on target.
