Named in the starting line up for just the fifth time, he produced a man of the match display and scored his first senior hat-trick. City have themselves a star.
It was a display of maturity, confidence, intelligence, awareness and technical brilliance. He's got everything needed to become a world-class player.
Manuel Pellegrini has been cautiously introducing him into the team, but how much longer can that continue? This is a player ready for regular first-team action. Nothing fazes him.
He now has eight goals this season from just 507 minutes of football this season – a goal every 63 minutes.
And the City fans, understandably, love him already. His name was sung on a loop at Villa Park for much of the game.
Expect to hear this many more times as he continues his City career.
