Youth and Exuberance as City Get to FA Cup 4th Round, Norwich 0 vs. 3 City

"It was a very good performance, from the beginning we were very aggressive.”

, Manuel Pellegrini – 09/01/2016.

Goals; Aguero 16'. Iheanacho 31', De Bruyne 78'
Line Up (4-4-2); Cabaleero, Kolorov, Otamendi, Demichelis, Zabaleta, Sterling (De Bruyne 61'), Delph, Fernando, Navas, Aguero (Clichy 70'), Iheanacho (Celina 85')

None of the "Promise of Magic" bloggers caught this game live, so no full write up I'm afraid. Highlight for me was the blooding of Iheanacho alongside Aguero, with the youngster scoring City's second, and putting in a man of the match performance before being subbed for another EDS youngster, Bersant Celina on 85'. The game also saw the welcome return of Pablo Zabaleta. Aguero opened the scoring on 16' with a toe poke passed the keeper following a mazy run, and substitute De Bruyne killed the game off with the third, blasting through Ruddy's legs on 78'.
