EPL: Leicester Players Celebrate Iheanacho In Dressing After Match-Winning Performance (Video)

The Leicester City dressing room was in a frenzy mood as the players were seen celebrating Super Eagles of Nigeria international, Kelechi Iheanacho after producing a match-winning performance against Everton.

Iheanacho’s 90th Minutes goal helped the Foxes defeated struggling Everton 2-1 at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.

Coach Brendan Rodgers team were trailing Everton before he brought in the Nigerian who has not been given much playing time from the bench in the 62nd minute.

Iheanacho rewarded his coach’s faith in him, first providing an assist for hitman, Jamie Vardy few minutes after coming on, then decisively, securing all three points for his team in the fourth minute of added time.

Initially, when the 23-year-old had the ball in the back of the net, it was ruled out for offside, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) overruled it and the goal stood.

It was a huge goal for Leicester as their remarkable Premier League (PL) run continues.
