Man City fire five past AC Milan (Kelechi scores again!)

Manchester City thrashed AC Milan 5-1 in Pittsburgh today.

Stevan Jovetic handed the Premier League champions the lead after 12 minutes with a low shot that crept in at the near post and three minutes later Gael Clichy picked out Scott Sinclair in the box and he slotted home the second from close range.

The goalfest was not over yet and midway through the first half Jesus Navas' acrobatic effort from just outside the box took a huge deflection and left goalkeeper Michael Agazzi with no chance.

Rampant City added a fourth after 27 minutes as Nigerian striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who has been training with the club for the past few weeks, picked the ball up on the edge of the box and turned 180 degrees before firing home.

Sulley Muntari pulled one back for Milan just before the break as he tapped in with a close-range finish at the home of NFL side the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Following a delay due to lightening and heavy rain, former City striker Mario Balotelli took to the field for the second half and had a goal ruled out for offside before Jovetic netted his second to make it 5-1.
