Author: Akan Anwankwo

- Kelechi Iheanacho scored his first goal of the season for Leicester City in the EFL Cup

- The Super Eagles striker calmly finished a Marc Albrighton's assist in the 86th minute

- The Foxes won the game 4-0 with Gray scoring a brace and Tielemans also on target

Kelechi Iheanacho made his first appearance in a competitive match for Leicester City in the 2019-20 season in the EFL Cup.

And the Nigerian international justified his selection by Brenda Rodger as he put his name on the scoresheet in the comprehensive 4-0 win over Luton Town.

Demarai Gray began the onslaught in the 34th minute as Spanish striker Ayoze Perez provided the assist for the Englishman.

Ten minutes later Youri Tielemans was on hand to help James Justin score the Foxes second to make it 2-0.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng had earlier reported that Kelechi Iheanacho has set a record he might not want to for a while after going without a goal for a calendar year.

The out of favour Super Eagles striker was yet again left on the bench as the Foxes defeated Tottenham 2-1 at the King Power Stadium.

He tried as he wanted to loop the ball over the goal keeper.

The Iheanacho guy seems to be always good in FA cup and league cup.
