Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho celebrates scoring his side's second goal of the game from the penalty spot during the Emirates FA Cup, fourth round match at Villa Park


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.
