Man City whiz Kelechi: Honour to play with Sterling

Manchester City youngster Kelechi Iheanacho enjoyed playing with Raheem Sterling yesterday.

The 18-year-old striker was an influential performer in City's 5-4 penalty shoot-out win against Roma.

On Sterling, Iheanacho said: “It was an honour to play with Sterling, he's a very good player. He's intelligent, skilful and strong.

“He's a little bit older than me. I'm a young player still trying to make it so I hope I can learn some things from him.

"I thought I gave him a good pass for his. I thought it might have been offside actually but in the end it was a good run.

"When you are such an intelligent player like he is, it's easy for us to play alongside him."
