On Saturday afternoon, Kelechi Iheanacho once again showcased his impressive form by scoring in Leicester City’s triumphant 3-1 away victory against Swansea City. The Nigerian forward has now found the back of the net in his last four appearances for Enzo Maresca’s side, solidifying his position as a key player in the team.
This remarkable performance marked Iheanacho’s 220th appearance across all competitions for Leicester City—a true testament to his talent and dedication to the club. Although he began the match on the bench, he seized the opportunity to make an impact when he replaced Jamie Vardy in the 84th minute.
It didn’t take long for Iheanacho to make his mark on the game. In the 87th minute, just three minutes after stepping onto the pitch, the striker scored Leicester City’s third goal, sealing the victory for his team. This goal adds to his already impressive record of six goals and two assists in just 14 league appearances this season.
Notably, Iheanacho was not the only Nigerian player to shine during the match. His international teammate, Wilfred Ndidi, displayed his skills by playing the full 90 minutes.
Leicester City’s dominant performance against Swansea City is a clear reflection of their exceptional form in the Sky Bet Championship this season. The Foxes have now emerged victorious in 11 out of their 12 matches—an extraordinary achievement that cements their status as serious contenders in the competition.
Kelechi Iheanacho’s consistent contributions to Leicester City’s success are undeniable. With each passing game, he proves himself to be an indispensable asset to the team. Nigerian fans can look forward to more exhilarating performances from Iheanacho as he continues to make waves in the world of football.
