Iheanacho and Vardy combination a real threat - Leicester City coach Rodgers

Leicester City manager Brendan Rodgers has hailed the partnership between Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy as a "real threat" to their oppositions.

The duo linked up well at Wembley Stadium on Sunday with Vardy setting up the Nigeria international for the only goal that gave the Foxes a 1-0 victory over Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final.

Iheanacho's strike was his 10th goal in his last seven appearances for Brendan Rodgers' side as he continues his fine goalscoring run in all competitions.
