Iheanacho Shoots Leicester City To Top of Table

By Admin

Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho and his compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi are contributing in no small measure to the return of Leicester City back to the English top flight football, BSNSports.com.ng

Nigeria midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi assisted Kelechi Iheanacho whose goal helped Leicester City defeat Preston North End 3-0 in the Championship on Wednesday night.

Iheanacho has now scored in back-to-back league games and has taken his tally for the season to three in 10 appearances.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall put Leicester 1-0 up in the 60th minute before Iheanacho made it 2-0 on 76 minutes after a superb assist from Ndidi.

In the 90th minute Dewsbury-Hall grabbed his second goal to put Leicester 3-0 ahead.

The win took Leicester, on 27 points, two points clear of second-placed Ipswich in the league table.

The Foxes have won four (lost one) of their last five games in all competitions.

Both Ndidi and Iheanacho were called up for the Super Eagles’ double header friendly games against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique this month in Portugal.
