FT: Villa 0-4 Man City
Kelechi Iheanacho fired Man City into the fifth round with a brilliant hat-trick to leave rock bottom Aston Villa to their grim relegation battle.
The Nigerian teenager opened the scoring in the fourth minute from close-range when Fernando had a header cleared off the line from Fabian Delph’s corner.
Iheanacho then doubled the visitors’ advantage with a coolly-taken penalty in the 24th minute after Leandro Bacuna brought down Rahem Sterling.
Villa threatened to pull a goal back when Carles Gil tested Willy Caballero after the break with a free-kick from just outside the box.
But City cruised to victory when Iheanacho ran on to a diabolical backpass from Idrissa Gana to slot in on 74 minutes before Sterling netted 14 minutes from time.
