Anelka scored from the penalty spot and set up the other two goals in City's victory.

"When he plays like that Nicolas is as good as any striker in the Premiership - there is no doubt about it," said Keegan.

"He scored 15 goals in a side that struggled last year and he will tell you himself he should have got another 10.

"He's a wonderful player. He's got so much going for him - that electric change of pace.

"His finishing is excellent and if he ever gets a bit better then he would have a great chance of winning the Golden Boot."
