Ever since his promotion to the first team under Louis Van Gaal, Marcus Rashford has had the spotlight on him and hailed as a future superstar. While there is no doubt about the quality of the player, Kelechi Iheanacho has shone at Manchester City, albeit without the attention of the media.

With his goal yesterday, the Nigerian's tally this season now moves to three.

Under Pep Guardiola, he seems to be growing into a dangerous striker and his attacking runs into the box have the threat of an established striker. The style in which he stormed his way into the box and held on to score the equaliser shows he could be Aguero's heir at the Etihad.
