Leicester City’s Iheanacho wants more goals after ‘great’ Europa League night

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho is hoping to get more playing minutes after his heroic display in his side’s 3-0 win over Zorya.

Iheanacho marked his debut appearance in the Uefa Europa League with a goal and two assists on Thursday.

The Super Eagles forward assisted James Maddison to open the scoring at the King Power Stadium in the 29th minute and later combined with Harvey Barnes who gave the hosts a two-goal lead on the stroke of half-time.

His contributions made him the first Nigerian player to assist two goals in a Europa League match before the icing on the cake with his maiden strike in the tournament in the 67th minute.
