Iheanacho scores, assists in Leicester victory

Kelechi Iheanacho Leicester City

Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, put up a man of the match display as Leicester City came from behind to beat Huddersfield 3-1 on Saturday.

Defender Mathias Jorgensen put the visitors in front after just five minutes, having failed to score in any of his 38 Premier League appearances last season.

But Iheanacho, back in the team as one of three changes from Claude Puel, promptly equalised.

An excellent James Maddison through-ball found Jamie Vardy, who teed up his strike partner to place a first time, left-footed finish into the bottom corner from 18 yards.

Maddison then produced a moment of quality at the other end to put Leicester ahead in the 66th minute, his curling, 25-yard free-kick proving too hot for Jonas Lossl to handle.

And the points were safe for Leicester with 15 minutes left, Vardy racing through to chip Lossl after Iheanacho sent him clear.

The 21-year-old Nigerian now has two goals and assists apiece this term.

The home win gets Leicester back on track after a run of two straight defeats while struggling Huddersfield remain without a victory.
