In a thrilling showdown on Sunday, the dynamic duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi inspired Leicester City to a resounding win against Blackburn Rovers, propelling the Foxes to the pinnacle of the Championship.
With Kelechi Iheanacho netting a goal and Wilfred Ndidi providing an assist, Leicester decimated Blackburn Rovers, securing their eighth win of the campaign.
This electrifying performance showcased the immense talent of these Super Eagles players.
Adding to the spectacle, Ghana’s Issahaku Abdul Fatawu, alongside Ndidi and Iheanacho, played pivotal roles in Leicester City’s commanding 4-1 away victory over Blackburn Rovers.
The Foxes roared back to form after a recent League Cup defeat at the hands of Liverpool, dominating at Ewood Park.
Fatawu, on loan from Sporting Lisbon, dazzled from the start, orchestrating Wout Faes’ early goal in the fourth minute.
Though Blackburn Rovers managed to equalize with a goal by Sammie Szmodics, Leicester City remained in control, and Wilfred Ndidi’s masterful assist to Jamie Vardy secured their lead just before the half-hour mark.
In the 76th minute, Kelechi Iheanacho took the field, and within minutes, the Super Eagles striker showcased his scoring prowess by netting a penalty.
The icing on the cake came from English midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, sealing the match with a late goal.
