Kelechi Iheanacho declares his 'love' for the FA Cup after the Leicester hero scores the winner against Southampton to send the Foxes to their first final in more than 50 years

Leicester hero Kelechi Iheanacho declared his love for the FA Cup after leaving Leicester dreaming of lifting the trophy for the first time in their history.

Iheanacho scored the only goal – his 10th in the last seven matches – early in the second half to end Southampton’s campaign and set up a Final with Chelsea, Leicester’s first since 1969.

Since the start of the 2015-16 season, no player has scored more in this competition than Iheanacho, who also struck twice to knock out Manchester United in the last eight.
