Iheanacho Scores Again in Leicester’s 2-2draw With Rotherham

Kelechi Iheanacho scores again in a pre-season friendly match 2-2 draw with Rotherham United at the New York Stadium in one of two friendlies on Saturday afternoon.
The 23-year-old Nigeria international who miss the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations due to poor form with the Foxes last season.
Iheanacho last scored for Leicester City in September 2018 before finding the back of the net last Wednesday against Cambridge United to end ten-months goal drought in a 3-0 win.
However, former Manchester City striker where part of assistant coach Chris Davies leads the weakened-yet-still strong line-up for a clash with the League One Millers after Brendan Rodgers took his strongest XI to the Bet365 Stadium to take on Stoke City.
Iheanacho opens his side goal account in the 11 minutes after a quiet start with Harvey Barnes robbed Matt Olosunde of the ball before sliding it through to Super Eagles star down the left-hand side of the box as he took the opportunity to slot it in.
The U17 FIFA World Cup winner restored his Premier League side lead in the 72 minutes of the encounter after Carlton Morris level it up seven minutes before half-time but Nigerian descent Michael Ihiekwe equalize for Rotherham United nine minutes from time to end the tie scored draw.
