Leicester City striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has broken former Nigeria international, Yakubu Aiyegbeni’s goal record in the FA Cup.

Iheanacho scored twice in Leicester City’s 5-1 thrashing of Peterborough on Saturday.





In doing so, the 21-year-old broke a record previously held by Aiyegbeni, as he took his tally in the prestigious competition to 9 goals in 9 appearances.

Aiyegbeni notched 8 goals in 20 appearances in the FA Cup wearing the jerseys of Reading, Middlesbrough and Portsmouth.

While it took the retired Nigeria international ten years to score eight goals in the FA Cup, Iheanacho became Nigeria’s leading scorer in the FA Cup after only two years.

Below are Nigeria’s top ten scorers in the FA Cup:





1. Kelechi Iheanacho – 9 goals, 9 matches

2. Yakubu Aiyegbeni – 8 goals, 20 matches

3. Victor Moses – 6 goals, 29 matches

4. Nwankwo Kanu – 6 goals, 24 matches





5. Victor Anichebe – 4 goals, 21 matches

6. Danny Shittu- 4 goals, 12 matches

7. Emmanuel Emenike – 4 goals, 6 matches

Kayode Odejayi – 3 goals, 26 matches

9. Obi Mikel – 3 goals, 32 matches

10. Victor Obinna, 3 goals, 3 matches

Oga Robosky02... Thank you for this thread. You are mouthed...


IT IS NOT EUREKA YET, Kelechi Nacho... Keep proving dem haters wrong.... It is in you to fly like an Eagle.

Since January 2016 also, no one else has scored more FA Cup goals than Iheanacho..... Lad is just too good. The Class is there in abundance. He is shaterring all nonsense and derogatory talks of his undoubted talents. Shine on Nacho Man... #TheAlienKid

u eh

Kelechi Iheanacho has been Nigeria's Super Eagles' top scorer in the last two calendar years also... In 2016 and then in 2017 as regards International duty. No one has scored more than Kelechi in the GWG in the last two years. #Lethal #Reliable

But he is still not there yet.... But man! His freekick against Argentina even got Dybala eying him.... (Pic below)

Dybala be like... "So this guy's left foot good like my own?"

He's a young guy destined for great things. The other day he became the first player in England to score a goal via VAR. Well done boy.

Congrats Nwa Amadi Igbo

Wow

Gu

everytime he's breaking records and we are not seeing anything

He needs a club where he could really blossom into an all out striker

nice one from him

He should replicate same feat in the league.

Idiotic and ignorant response

Meanwhile,
The bench warmer plays against lesser sides and shines but hardly makes EPL match day squad.

What baffles me is how Kelechi Iheanacho is taller than the likes of Marcus Rashford and Wilfred Ndidi, the guy looks short on the pitch for a 6:2, the same height as Obi Mikel.

Nice one from him
