‘I would have passed to Daka’ – Iheanacho on Leicester City goal versus Millwall

The former Manchester City striker would have unselfishly teed up the Zambia international for his first Foxes goal if he'd spotted him

Kelechi Iheanacho revealed he would have passed to Patson Daka instead of choosing to score in Leicester City’s Carabao Cup triumph over Millwall on Wednesday night.

The Nigeria international was among the goal scorers as the Foxes tamed the Lions to earn a place in the tournament’s fourth round – where they will face Brighton and Hove Albion.

Having been denied by goalkeeper George Long earlier, Iheanacho belted an unstoppable finish into the roof of the Millwall with two minutes of normal time left to seal the win.
