Iheanacho equals his best goalscoring tally in Leicester City's defeat to West Ham United

Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho has equalled his best goalscoring tally in a single league season after he scored his eighth Premier League goal in Leicester City’s 3-2 defeat to West Ham United on Sunday afternoon.

With the Hammers leading 3-0 at the Olympic Stadium thanks to a brace from Jesse Lingard and a third from Jarrod Bowen, the striker produced two goals as he tried to help the Foxes avoid defeat.

Picking up the ball from Ricardo Pereira on the edge of the hosts’ box in the 70th minute, the striker smashed home from 25 yards out. The left-footed effort flashed past goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski who couldn’t keep it out.
