Manchester City 4-0 Stoke City: Iheanacho at the double in comfortable victory

Manchester City cruised to a 4-0 Premier League victory against Stoke City, with Kelechi Iheanacho scoring twice.

Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as Manchester City prepared for its Champions League semifinal against Real Madrid with a straightforward 4-0 Premier League victory over Stoke City on Saturday.

With City's top-four status not yet secure, manager Manuel Pellegrini faces a difficult balancing act as he tries to juggle domestic and continental priorities.

While he opted not to make wholesale changes to his starting XI for the visit of Mark Hughes’ men, the Chilean rested Vincent Kompany and Kevin De Bruyne with one eye on Tuesday's first leg at the Etihad Stadium.
