  FA Cup: Iheanacho Sends Leicester City Into Quarterfinals, Clinches MOTM Award By Sampson Adedeji Nigeria's Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho struck deep into stoppage-time to send Leicester into the FA Cup quarter-finals at a freezing King Power stadium last night, BSNSports.com.ng reports The Nigerian, brought on for an ineffectual Jamie Vardy just after the hour, headed home Youri Tielemans’ cross in the fourth minute of added time to settle a forgettable contest between both sides. Neither side could manage a shot on target in the opening 45 minutes, with Adam Lallana blazing high over the bar and Andi Zeqiri also volleying over for the visitors. Perez’s night ended after an hour when he hobbled off with a shin injury part of a triple Foxes substitution by an unimpressed Rodgers. The game, at last, did spark into life with each side having a goal disallowed for offside in the space of a minute Brighton’s Zeqiri and Leicester’s Cengiz Under seeing their efforts chalked off. Nigeria international decided the game in the 94th minute with a well timed header. Meanwhile, Iheanacho was also announced as the Man of the Match for the encounter played at the King Power stadium.
