Quadruple-chasing Manchester City breezed into the next round of the FA Cup, seeing off Aston Villa with a 4-0 victory at Villa Park.

There was no doubting who the hero of the day was, with 19-year-old Kelechi Iheanacho helping himself to a hat-trick. His performance created plenty of excitement amongst Manchester City supporters, who were quick to suggest the young Nigerian was a better alternative than Manchester United's Anthony Martial. Martial, who United signed for a hefty fee in the summer, had impressed a day earlier in his team's victory away at Derby. https://twitter.com/Mainly_MCFC/status/693473892330029060 https://twitter.com/lloyd_scragg/status/693472954399744001 https://twitter.com/TheSilvaLining/status/693458208803942400 https://twitter.com/ManCityArmy1894/status/693456598522531840 https://twitter.com/Fraudteke/status/693456380615794688 Not that Manchester United fans would ever take such a suggestion seriously. https://twitter.com/UtdSeyi/status/693481741999329280 https://twitter.com/VinceVega7/status/693456774255484928 https://twitter.com/RkKman/status/693455252494884864 https://twitter.com/SallyTheManc/status/693483420815659008
