Iheanacho Scores Twice As Leicester Suffered Second Successive League Defeat
Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho score twice but could not lift his club as Leicester City suffered two consecutive league defeat.
Leicester City lost to West Ham United but still retains the 3rd position on the league table.
Jesse Lingard scored twice as West Ham climbed back into fourth spot in the Premier League with a vital 3-2 on Sunday.
Iheanacho, who has been in scintillating form and won Player of the Month (March) has now took his tally for Leicester City to 11 goals in all competitions.
Leicester finally came to life with Kelechi Iheanacho punishing a defensive mistake with 20 minutes remaining.
West Ham, who squandered a 3-0 lead to draw with Arsenal last month and almost did the same against Wolves in midweek, looked nervy at times after that and Iheanacho ramped up the tension with a second goal in stoppage time.
But West Ham survived some heart-in-the-mouth moments in six added minutes to secure a vital victory in their quest for an unlikely top-four finish.
West Ham United has moved back above Liverpool and Chelsea with 55 points from 31 games, one point behind Leicester who suffered a second successive league defeat.
