elechi Iheanacho nets brace in Leicester City's stalemate with Rotherham United



The Nigeria international’s double was not enough to help the Foxes claim victory over the Millers at the New York Stadium
Kelechi Iheanacho scored both goals for Leicester City in their 2-2 stalemate with League One side Rotherham United in a pre-season game on Saturday.

After ending his 11-month goal drought against Cambridge United on Tuesday, the forward continued with a brilliant performance at the New York Stadium.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international put the Premier League side in front with his well-taken effort inside the area in the 11th minute.

The former Manchester City forward beat onrushing Rotherham goalkeeper Daniel Iversen before he left-footed his effort into the top corner in the 71st minute.

Michael Ihiekwe then scored in the 81st minute to deny the King Power Stadium outfit victory in the encounter.

A double for Kelechi at New York Stadium as the Foxes get more minutes under their belts.

Iheanaho will hope to replicate the performance for the Foxes when the 2019/20 season gets underway after failing to impress last term, which led to his omission from the Super Eagles' Afcon squad.

Dude, would you have picked a misfiring over those two{Osihmen and Onuachu} as a coach?

The coach went with form-I mean real goalscoring form-, not "name" and to tell you the truth Onuachu and the other guy were in form at that point in time. Osihmen, for instance, hit a total of 19 goals in all competitions for his club in Belgium the previous season to emerge Nigeria's highest goalscorer. Onuachu, on the other hand, got 17 goals for his club. In that same period, how many did Iheanacho manage to score?

Well, good for him. Think he's found his scoring boots again.
