Iheanacho scored his first career hat-trick on 30 January 2016 against Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup, also setting up City's fourth goal, scored by Raheem Sterling.[25] The following month, he was put in City's UEFA Champions League squad at the expense of the injured Samir Nasri.[26] During February, Iheanacho scored against Tottenham Hostpur in a 2–1 home defeat for City.[27]
Iheanacho's next goals came on 23 April 2016, where he scored twice against Stoke City in a 4–0 victory.[28] He followed this up with a Champions League semi-final substitute appearance on 26 April 2016.[29] Five days later, on 1 May 2016, he scored two again, albeit in a 4–2 defeat at the hands of Southampton.[30]
[31] Iheanacho ended the 2015–16 season with eight Premier League goals and had the best goals-per-minute ratio of any player averaging, a goal every 93.9 minutes
For an 18 YO in his first year in the PL, that was pretty impressive. He also got 2 goals and 2 assists in his first two starts last season against United and Bournemouth and was starting to look like a great player.
