Teenager Kelechi Iheanacho scored twice as Manchester City tuned up for their Champions League semi-final with Real Madrid by sinking Stoke City 4-0 in the Premier League on Saturday.
Iheanacho, 19, struck twice within 10 second-half minutes, adding to goals by Fernando and Sergio Aguero, to lift City, who host Madrid in the first leg of their last-four tie on Tuesday, back above Arsenal to third place.
Elsewhere, Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at his former club Liverpool — whose French centre-back Mamadou Sakho has failed a drugs test — to inch to within a point of safety.
