Kelechi Iheanacho was on target for Leicester City, scoring the game-winning goal to help the Premier League side secure a 2-0 win over Stade Rennais during their Europa Conference League.
A late strike from the Super Eagles forward on Thursday night clinched the game, giving Brendan Rodgers’ team a tremendous boost ahead of the second tie.
The King Power Stadium erupted as goals from Marc Albrighton and the Nigerian star were all the Foxes needed to take a two-goal lead into next week’s UECL visit to Rennes.
Seniorman Kelz came off the bench in injury time to double Leicester’s lead with a curling goal from the edge of the box.
Kelechi Iheanachoooo!
Senior Man adds some daylight and all but seals the win for Leicester with a clinical finish! π
