Iheanacho ends 368-days goal drought as Leicester beat Luton

Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho ends 368-days goal drought as Leicester City beat Luton 4-0 in the Carabao Cup third round at Kenilworth Road.
The 22-year-old Nigeria international came on for the last 19 minutes as he replaced Ayoze Perez and helped the Foxes advance into the fourth round on Tuesday with a sweet goal.
Iheanacho was out of favour in the first six Premier League matches of the 2019-2020 season as he last competitive game for the club was on May 6 when the King Power Stadium outfit lost to Manchester City last season, while his last goal came during a league game against Huddersfield Town on September 22, 2018.
Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi was in action for 77 minutes while Ghana’s Daniel Amartey was an unused substitute.
Iheanacho will be aiming to build on his maiden strike of the season when Leicester City host Newcastle United for their next Premier League fixture on Sunday as the means to get Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr to include the striker for the friendly against Brazil.
