'Give him the Ballon d'Or' – Leicester City’s Iheanacho inspires Twitter meltdown

The Nigeria international conjured a magnificent performance to help the Foxes silence the Eagles, and fans waxed lyrical about him on social media
Kelechi Iheanacho sent Twitter into a frenzy after inspiring Leicester City to a 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace in Monday’s Premier League clash.

The Foxes were pegged down in the 12th minute after Wilfried Zaha profited from an Eberechi Eze assist to slot past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Timothy Castagne restored parity for the hosts five minutes into the second half – with Iheanacho the provider.

With the game heading for a 1-1 draw at the King Power Stadium, Iheanacho decided the game with a venomous effort in the 80th minute.

Social media went into meltdown while praising the former Manchester City striker who has now scored five times in his last four games for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

Senior man can't stop scoring, man is killing it.

Iheanacho is thriving off just playing football. Having a run of games does a lot for players. Happy for him.

Omo @67Kelechi you gotta cut this soap for me oo
This form is terrific

Iheanacho is playing like a “9 and a half” - a term that Rodgers described Sturridge & Suárez’s roles as, back in the 2013/14 season. He’s effective at dropping deep & creating in between the lines or he can run in-behind & provide a threat in the box

No jokes, Iheanacho has done more for NIGERIANS than the Nigeria Govt. putting smile on our faces every week. IHEANACHO FOR PRESIDENT! What a GOAL!!! ⚽️

— TACHA����� (@Symply_Tacha) April 26, 2021
Kelechi Iheanacho trending must be the only piece of good news that’s come out of Nigeria today. Man puts a smile on the faces of Nigerians as we retire to bed after a terrible day. He’s been absolutely sensational lately. Good bless senior man. � ��

So far So Good, senior man Kelz has shown us the stuff he is made of...

In as much as Senior Man is banging in the goals recently, we should also thank Brendan Rodgers for having faith in our Nigeria GOAT and also building his confidence level.


Some coaches are just like General Buhari... They'll demoralize you and help to kill your dream just like the way the Buhari-led administration is doing to Nigeria youths.

I love this tweets

If you are following the Nigerian strikers playing in Europe, you will know that not only Kelechi is making us happy but almost all of them.

For over 20years of following Nigeria players (strikers) outside in Europe, they’ve not been much in this superb form.

Terem Moffi
Kelechi
Paul Onuachu
Simy
Osimhen
Chukwueze et al

Especially the lanky duo of Simy Nwankwo and Paul Onuachu.


So much fire power for the SE at the moment.

Amotolongbo:

I heard about that goal beast, I don't think he'll be consistent with this form next season.

PlayMaker14:

Don't say that. He is just 21years of Nigeria age and still have years ahead to perform.

Don’t write him off please

paulolee:

Terem is 21years and you are above 30years.

How was it possible for a 21year old guy to be your gee?

Amotolongbo:

Not writing him off, just saying that he won't produce such electrifying form next season with his current club... He should look for another club where he can be getting enough supplies from his teammates.

At Lorient, dude is working all by himself because the supplies from his teammates are so poor.

The ingredients is too much

My only problem now is the coach that is supposed to blend them is technically deficient


If not we should win the world cup

Amotolongbo:

How was it possible for a 21year old guy to be your gee?
