Kelechi Iheanacho nets brace in Leicester City's stalemate with Rotherham United

Kelechi Iheanacho scored both goals for Leicester City in their 2-2 stalemate with League One side Rotherham United in a pre-season game on Saturday.

After ending his 11-month goal drought against Cambridge United on Tuesday, the forward continued with a brilliant performance at the New York Stadium.

The 22-year-old Nigerian international put the Premier League side in front with his well-taken effort inside the area in the 11th minute.

Carlton Morris brought the Millers back into contention with his 38th-minute strike before Iheanacho restored the lead for his side.

The former Manchester City forward beat onrushing Rotherham goalkeeper Daniel Iversen before he left-footed his effort into the top corner in the 71st minute.
