Coach of Leicester City Brendan Rodgers has once again heap praises on Nigeria international striker Kelechi Iheanacho after his goal in their 2-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Iheanacho drew his team level with a smart finish in the 34th minute by dinking the ball over the head of Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sanchez from a well weighted pass from Youri Tieleman.
The Nigerian hasn’t disappointed since getting his chance largely due to the injuries to James Maddison and Harvey Barnes, and with top scorer Jamie Vardy struggling for form he has emerged as the main man for the team in their last two games.
Reacting to his second goal in as many games, Rodgers salute the new found form of the Leicester City man saying he is valuable to the team as he can do everything.
“He has a bit of everything,” Rodgers said on Iheanacho. “He’s come up trumps a few times recently, if you remember at Fulham he scored that important header”, Rodgers said after the game.
“In the first half it got away from him too much, he had too many touches and was losing possession, but when he intensified his game, he played quicker and his finish was superb. That’s the level of confidence he’s at. He worked well for the team and his contribution was valuable.”
