Nigerian youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho, continued his incredible goal run yesterday, but his brace could not stop Swansea from beating Manchester City 4-2 at St. Mary’s.

Sadio Mane was Southampton’s hero, as his hat trick helped the Saints thump Manchester City’s disjointed and disinterested second string.

Shane Long also found the net as Saints kept their Europa League qualification bid alive, strolling home against a City lineup distracted as much by fears for their individual futures as thoughts of the Champions League.

Iheanacho struck twice for the visitors, but Manuel Pellegrini’s largely reserve line-up wilted with precious little resistance on the south coast.

City boss Pellegrini made eight changes from Tuesday’s goalless Champions League semifinal first leg draw with Real Madrid, gearing up for Wednesday’s return at the Bernabeu.

The Chilean duly exposed the shortcomings in his squad building at the Etihad outfit however, with many on show rightly fretting that Pep Guardiola will wield the axe on arrival at the club this summer.
