Match-winner Kalechi Iheanacho says scoring the winning goal in Saturday’s Manchester Derby was like a “dream come true”.
The 19-year-old forward was on hand to tap home Kevin De Bruyne’s strike after it rattled the base of the post, springing the offside trap and putting City into a 2-0 lead.
The Nigerian reflected on the game and that goal in a post-match interview with Sky Sports.
