The 19-year-old came on as a substitute in the 75th minute and earned a penalty eight minutes later, which Mikel Arteta coolly converted, before the Nigerian-born striker crowned another run into the box by knocking the ball home from a sharp right angle.

Manager David Moyes is confident there is still a lot more to come: "Victor has been great for us and he really has a chance if he wants to work hard and keep improving."

He added: "When he comes off the bench he is very good and people find it hard to cope with his strength. He is very strong at the age of 19. He is one of the boys who do not need to do any strength training. He has got a great natural strength."

Arteta and Phil Neville echoed Moyes' sentiments, claiming there was no stopping Anichebe.

"I don't know (how to stop him). When you are tired in the last 15 minutes and you see Victor coming in it is obviously not an easy job," said Arteta. "He is a terrific talent and he has been in really good form.

"We know he is able to change the game because he is so powerful. He likes it when he comes in with less pressure and tries to make the difference. He has been terrific."

Neville agreed the youngster was at his best when coming on as a substitute.

"At the moment he is probably looking better coming off the bench for 20 or 30 minutes. That is when he can catch the defence by surprise because he is a real special talent," Neville said.

"He has been an absolute monster. You feed the ball into him in the box and he rolls defenders in. Because he is young the foreign players and teams don't know much about him. It was a great night for the young lad."
