Nigeria international forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been picked as the star of the Leicester City team that defeated Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 in the English Premier League over the weekend, OGN reports.
Iheanacho bagged a goal and two assists in the win which further helped his team to pull away from the relegation zone. The Nigerian has looked unstoppable since getting the faith of coach Brendan Rodgers the past few games.
Last weekend, he played a little over an hour but before he was subbed off he already did enough to ensure that his team run away with all three points and it didn’t go unnoticed with former coach of Spurs Harry Redknapp singling him out for his performance.
“Kelechi Iheanacho has been in the starting line-up in the last couple of weeks and he’s certainly delivered for his manager. He got a goal and assist at the weekend, and he took his goal well”, he told BetVictor.
“He’s always been a good, natural finisher and if he keep this form up, he’ll remain in the side. Leicester were brilliant at the weekend, and he was a big reason why. He’s got to be my star man this weekend!”
