First KDB raced onto Iheanacho's flick-on after Eric Bailly failed to compete for a long ball and Daley Blind failed to react.

That left the Belgian clear to calmly beat David De Gea who was left stranded on the edge of his area.

City started the better side and were good value for their lead as Jose Mourinho's surprise line-up failed to pay dividends.
