Iheanacho's goal was reward for his progress in training at Leicester City - Davies

Leicester City assistant manager Chris Davies has praised Kelechi Iheanacho after opening his goal account this season in their 4-0 thrashing of Luton Town on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old forward was introduced into the game in the 71st minute – his first appearance for the Foxes this term - and made his impact felt, sealing victory for the Foxes.

The former Manchester City striker chipped the ball over goalkeeper James Shea with four minutes left to play, for his first goal in 368 days.

“It’s great for Kel because he’s been outside of the squad, let alone the team, just recently,” Davies said, as per Leicester Mercury.
