Iheanacho continues torrid scoring pace to rescue draw vs. Southampton
Kelechi Iheanacho scores when he wants.
The Manchester City striker, 20, continues to provide instant offence for Pep Guardiola despite playing limited minutes, coming off the bench at half-time of Sunday's clash with Southampton to net his second league goal of the campaign.
Modest as that number is, Iheanacho's scoring record dating back to last season is among the top flight's most formidable.
8 - Kelechi Iheanacho has scored 8 times in his last 11 Premier League games for Manchester City. Impact.

In his Premier League career, per Sky Sports, the blossoming forward has scored 11 times from just 17 shots on target - a product of his innate ability to make intelligent runs and find spaces inside the penalty area.
Sergio Aguero is the undisputed top dog in the Citizens' attacking ranks, but in Iheanacho, Guardiola has what seems to be a ready-made replacement who looks set to thrive for years to come.
Good thing, too.
The tally earned City a 1-1 draw - cancelling out Nathan Redmond's fortuitous opener - and put Guardiola's men back atop the Premier League table on goal difference over both Arsenal and Liverpool.
