Kelechi Iheanacho is the first player in PL history to score on all seven days of the week in the same season

Kelechi Iheanacho becomes the first player in Premier League history to score a goal on all seven days of the week within a single season.

The striker was on target for Leicester City as they suffered a 2-1 defeat to Chelsea in Tuesday’s league encounter.

With the hosts taking a two-goal lead through Antonio Rudiger and Jorginho, the Iheanacho was introduced for James Maddison on the hour mark.

In the 76th minute, he reduced the deficit for Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes. Receiving a pass from compatriot Wilfred Ndidi, Iheanacho knocked the ball calmly into the bottom right corner of Edouard Mendy’s goal.

As a result of that effort, he wrote his name in the English elite division’s history books.

Furthermore, the 24-year-old now boasts 12 goals in 24 outings so far in the 2020-21 campaign. Overall, he is Leicester’s highest goalscorer in all competitions this term with 19 goals – four more than veteran Jamie Vardy.

Having lost 1-0 to the King Power Stadium giants in Saturday’s FA Cup final, Thomas Tuchel’s men came into the game hoping to avenge their defeat as well as dent the visitors’ Champions League ambitions.

Eleven minutes before the half-time break, Timo Werner headed Cesar Azpilicueta’s corner kick past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel. However, the effort was chalked off as VAR claimed the Germany international accidentally handled the ball as he guided it into the net.

Two minutes into the second half, Rudiger put the Blues in front. Ben Chilwell’s corner nicked off a Leicester defender into the 28-year-old who bundled the ball into the net.

The German centre-back has now scored more Premier League goals against the Foxes than he has versus any other team, with each of his last three in the competition coming against the Rodgers’ side.

In the 66th minute, Jorginho doubled the hosts’ advantage from the penalty mark after Wesley Fofana hacked at Werner inside the box.

While Ndidi was in action from start to finish, Ghana’s Daniel Amartey and Senegal’s Nampalys Mendy were unused substitutes.

Chelsea's victory lifted them to third in the EPL, just one point above Leicester City who occupy the fourth spot.

When they are nothing, you proscribe them and kill them. When they become something, you forget their tribe and the language they speak and drag them to be Nigerians...

Will any of them be given a political appointment with the federal character assigning them to be a southern appointees?


Does iheanacho sound to you like a Nigerian name?
