Kelechi Iheanacho began his month-long stint as Sergio Aguero's replacement by scoring Manchester City's equalizer in a 1-1 draw against Celtic in a Champions League game carrying little significance on Tuesday. Iheanacho drove a rising shot into the roof of the net in the eighth minute to cancel out a fourth-minute goal by Patrick Roberts, who is four months into his second straight season-long loan at Celtic from City. The result mattered little since City was already sure of finishing in second place in Group C while Celtic had no chance of avoiding a last-placed finish.
