Coach of Leicester City Brendan Rodgers has given his opinion on the hattrick scored by Nigeria international forward Kelechi Iheanacho in their 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
Iheanacho scored his first English Premier League hattrick to take his season tally to six in sixteen games with three in his last three games as he looks to establish himself in the squad of the Foxes.
Rodgers who has kept faith in the 24 yet old and even blocked him from a move away in the summer and also in the January transfer window says he has more to his games than goal.
The coach seems to have found a system with Iheanacho which is helping them to overcome the absence of James Maddison and Harvey Barnes who are all out injured.
“He was outstanding, not just in his goals, but his overall work-rate,” the 48-year-old added. “He had a big responsibility today, in terms of dropping into the space, finding that pocket that was just on the back of the midfield, and I thought he did that very, very well.
“He’s a great guy. He deserved the three goals. He had one or two other opportunities, but we’re all delighted for him.”
