Quadruple-chasing Manchester City breezed into the next round of the FA Cup, seeing off Aston Villa with a 4-0 victory at Villa Park.
There was no doubting who the hero of the day was, with 19-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho helping himself to a hat-trick.
His performance created plenty of excitement amongst Manchester City supporters, who were quick to suggest the young Nigerian was a better alternative than Manchester United’s Anthony Martial.
Martial, who United signed for a hefty fee in the summer, had impressed a day earlier in his team’s victory away at Derby.

Kelechi has properly arrived now. His first hat-trick aged 19, wow 🔥🔥🔥.
Better than Martial IMO, just needs the minutes.

Right, well if Sterling isn't better than Martial, why isn't Kelechi? His goalscoring record is incredible. He's younger too.

Not that Manchester United fans would ever take such a suggestion seriously.
