Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, has revealed how he was able to break down the stubborn Gillingham side, BSNSports.com.ng has gathered.

Leicester City found it extremely difficult to penetrate the Championship club until the second half of the encounter.

The Nigeria international netted the only goal of the game in the 56th minute off an assist from Jamie Vardy.

While speaking to the club media, Iheanacho said the home side has many players behind the ball in the first half.

"It's just instinct as a striker. People were around the box already so Vardy running at the front post, I was thinking he might cut it back so I just waited around at the edge of the box for the cutback and then it came to me and I finished. I thought he might cut it back and then it was a sweet finish.

"It's important to get the momentum. It's a difficult team as well. We came here to win so that's what we need to do. It is 1-0 but it doesn't matter because we are going through", he said.
