The Nigerian continued his impressive form with his fourth goal of the season as the Foxes thumped the Villans at Villa Park

Kelechi Iheanacho scored his fourth goal of the season to help Leicester City to a 4-1 victory against Aston Villa on Sunday.
Before his strike, the Nigerian had assisted Jammie Vardy to put the Foxes ahead in the 20th minute.

Four minutes before the half-time break, he doubled their advantage after converting James Maddison’s cross at the near post with the aid of Ezri Konsa’s deflection.


It was a significant goal for Iheanacho, with the 23-year-old now scoring in all four his appearances for Brendan Rodgers’ side this term.

4 - Kelechi Iheanacho has scored in all four appearances for Leicester City this season, netting four goals - as many as many as he'd scored in his previous 42 matches for the club. SPARK!!!!


He has been involved in six goals in his two starts in all competitions against Aston Villa (four goals, two assists), scoring three goals and assisting one for Manchester City in January 2016 in the FA Cup and scoring and assisting on Sunday.

The former Citizen golden boy has faced some criticism this season; however, he now looks back to something like his best.

Although Jack Grealish pulled a goal back for the hosts on the stroke of half-time, it proved as a consolation as Jonny Evans sealed the triumph while Vardy completed his brace later on.

Leicester are second in the English top-flight log with 38 points from 16 outings, and they would be hoping to make it nine wins from nine consecutive outings when they welcome Norwich City to the King Power Stadium on December 14.

I'm happy for Nacho. Just keep it up. The national team needs more competition to bring out the best quality in Nigerian players. Maybe, we can ascend to the height of 1994 - 1996.

Well said. I watched France 1998 highlight some days back. Those guys dey tap ball. We had a team then

I love the way he nutmegged that Villa guy before now laying a fine pass for Jarmie Vardy to score.

The guy is now coming back to life.

Kelechi Iheanacho started a premier league match today, exactly a year (365days) he last started a premier league match.

am happy for him

He's warmed the bench well and now it's time to lit the football pitch.

Well-done

And I believe giving him more game time should be in order...

After all, it is always best to reward hardwork, isn't it? In the spirit of merit.
