English League Cup: Leicester City’s Iheanacho sets personal best against Burton Albion

Kelechi Iheanacho recorded a personal best in Leicester City’s 3-1 English League Cup triumph over Burton Albion on Tuesday.

The Nigeria international put his side ahead in the seventh minute before Youri Tielemans and James Maddison completed the triumph against Nigel Clough’s men.

Although Liam Boyce found the net for the hosts, it stood as consolation with Brendan Rodgers’ side qualifying for the next round.

Following Iheanacho’s contribution, he has now been directly involved in nine goals (six goals and three assists) across his 12 EFL Cup appearances for Leicester and Manchester City combined.
