Iheanacho’s Goal Wins Leicester Award For April
Kelechie Iheanacho’s stunning
strike against Crystal Palace has been voted as Leicester City’s goal of the
month for April.
The Nigerian forward powered home
the winner for the Foxes in the 80th minute in their Premier League clash in
the month under review.
Iheanacho received a timely and
precise delivery from Jonny Evans before making a run into the guests’ danger
zone dribbling two defenders then fired the shot, which went straight into the
net.
The goal helped Brendan Rodgers’
men complete a dramatic comeback after Timothy Castagne’s 50th-minute strike
cancelled out Wilfried Zaha’s early goal in the first half.
Meanwhile, this is a form of
reward for the Super Eagles forward who has been firing on all cylinders for
the King Power Stadium outfit.
The 24-year-old has 18 goals and
seven assists in 37 appearances across all competitions for Leicester so far
this campaign and he could increase the tally before the season wraps up this
month.
Iheanacho was also instrumental
to their first-ever FA Cup triumph after beating Chelsea 1-0 at the Wembley
Stadium last weekend.
If they maintain their third position in their
last two league games, they will be playing in the Champions League next term.
