After disqualifying Sergio Aguero, "Manchester City" were left without their main striker. Instead, coach Pep Guardiola chose young Kelechi Iheanacho for the derby against "Manchester United."
According to the Spaniard, this decision was made because he wanted to show his players that they were going to "Old Trafford" to bring back a victory.
The inclusion of the nineteen-year-old in the starting lineup really paid off - he scored a goal and made an assist in the first half, and the "Cityzens" ultimately won 2-1.
He was the only striker we had at that time," Guardiola told the Manchester Evening News.
"I was thinking about many other options. However, I first decided to show my players that I came to win this match."
With Guardiola at the helm of "Man City," the club has so far secured four wins out of as many possible in the Premier League.
