Iheanacho becomes 1st nigerian to score ten goal (check stats)

Ahead of the October international break, Manchester City's Kelechi Iheanacho became the 16th player to score ten times in the Premier League before hitting their 20th birthday.

Their game at the Etihad Stadium on September 17 against Bournemouth saw Iheanacho score his tenth goal aged only 19, 11 months and 14 days, and whilst he's the oldest of those 16 players to hit double figures - only four in the list achieved that mark in fewer appearances than he did.

There are some obvious names on the list like Michael Owen, Wayne Rooney and Jermain Defoe, with a few blasts from the past like Emile Heskey, Nicolas Anelka and even Nick Barmby, but but there are a couple of names that few would've expected to see or have in fact long forgotten about.

Name	Club	Age @ 10th Goal	Apps
Michael Owen	Liverpool	18y 1m 24d	26
Wayne Rooney	Everton	18y 2m 4d	50
Francis Jeffers	Everton	18y 8m 7d	25
Robbie Fowler	Liverpool	18y 11m 4d	18
Alan Smith	Leeds United	18y 11m 18d	30
Emile Heskey	Leicester City	19y 4m 0d	36
Raheem Sterling	Liverpool	19y 4m 12d	57
Robbie Keane	Coventry City	19y 6m 7d	18
Kevin Gallen	Queens Park Rangers	19y 6m 18d	32
Jermain Defoe	West Ham United	19y 6m 20d	35
Nicolas Anelka	Arsenal	19y 7m 11d	40
Ryan Giggs	Manchester United	19y 8m 17d	42
Chris Bart-Williams	Sheffield Wednesday	19y 8m 24d	60
Romelu Lukaku	West Bromwich Albion	19y 8m 29d	32
Nick Barmby	Tottenham Hotspur	19y 11m 11d	37
Kelechi Iheanacho	Manchester City	19y 11m 14d	30

Now all eyes turn to who might be the 17th player to add their name to that list, and unless I've woefully erred on his age, most I imagine would have bets on Manchester United's Marcus Rashford given his appearance on the scene last season.
