EPL: Iheanacho Scores As Leciester Edge Everton

The 23-year-old striker came off the bench to deliver a five-star performance, helping the Foxes to edge past the Toffees.

Kelechi Iheanacho scored and provided an assist in his first Premier League game of the season to ensure Leicester City clinched a 2-1 victory against Everton on Sunday.

With the Foxes being down 1-0 following Richarlison’s strike, manager Brendan Rodgers brought on the 23-year-old Super Eagles frontman for Ayoze Perez in the 62nd minute.

Iheanacho made an almost immediate impact, setting up Jamie Vardy six minutes after his introduction to level for the King Power Stadium outfit.

His compatriot Wilfred Ndidi came close to scoring in the 87th minute after he got his head on the ball but his effort was cleared by Everton defence.

Iheanacho then grabbed the match-winning goal in additional time after benefitting from Ricardo Pereira’s assist.
