‘The FA Cup loves me’ – Southampton-slaying Iheanacho revels in Leicester City win

Kelechi Iheanacho has disclosed that the FA Cup loves him after his impressive run in the competition saw Leicester City qualify for the final at the expense of Southampton.

The Nigerian’s 55th-minute effort powered Brendan Rodgers’ men to a 1-0 win over Ralph Hasenhuettl’s side at the Wembley Stadium.

Brilliant pace by @Vardy7 down the left to find Iheanacho. @67Kelechi's first attempt is blocked, but makes no mistake second time around! ud83dudcaa
