Iheanacho Rated Leicester City's Best Player Vs Peterborough, Had Most Shots OT
Published: January 28, 2018
Kelechi Iheanacho was rated the Foxes joint-best player in their 5-1 hammering of Peterborough in the fourth round of the Emirates FA Cup on Saturday afternoon.
The Nigeria international took his tally in his favourite competition to nine goals from nine appearances courtesy of his first half-brace at the ABAX Stadium against the League One opponents.
Iheanacho was awarded eight marks from a possible ten by Leicester Mercury, the same score as Malian debutant Fousseni Diabaté.
''Took both goals superbly to continue his good form,'' wrote Rob Tanner on the Leicester City number eight.
The Super Eagle had a game-high three shots on target from his five attempts.
Iheanacho had a passing accuracy of 83.3 percent and only Fousseni Diabaté and Wilfred Ndidi did better for the players that spent more than 15 minutes on the pitch.
In other statistics, the former Manchester City starlet made two key passes, completed two dribbles, was dispossessed on the ball twice and made 24 passes.
