Appearance by Nigerian superkid Kelechi Iheanacho not enough for Man City

Kelechi Iheanacho's involvement for Manchester City last night wasn't enough as Chelsea won the FA Youth Cup final.

The trophy was retained as Chelsea won a fourth final in six seasons with a 5-2 aggregate victory over City.

Former Nigeria U17 World Cup captain Kelechi made an appearance in the second-leg and Chelsea coach Joe Edwards admits they were concerned.

"City were able to bring in their centre-forward Kelechi Iheanacho, who was unavailable for the first leg, but we knew the threat he was able to bring and he showed that with the early goal," Edwards told chelseafc.com.
