Kelechi Iheanacho bagged a brace as Manchester City’s Elite Development Squad defeated rivals Manchester United 3 - 1 at the Academy Stadium in the Under 21 Premier League.

Fletcher gave the visitors the lead two minutes from the interval before the Nigeria youth international restored parity in the 55th minute.

For the first time in the game, The Citizens took the lead in the 66th minute through Angelino before Iheanacho netted the insurance goal ten minutes from time.

Since making his comeback from injury, the Golden Ball winner at the 2013 Fifa Under 17s has notched 6 goals across all competitions.
