Kelechi Iheanacho has reflected on his most cherished moment of 2021, picking out Youri Tielemans' stunner against Chelsea in the Emirates FA Cup final as a moment that everyone loved.

After a goalless first half in a game in which Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi both started, the Belgium national teamer brought the game to life with a stunning, wonderful goal from long-range in the 63rd minute - a goal worthy of winning a final.

Statistically, the FA Cup has been Iheanacho's favourite competition since he turned professional, with a goal involvement of 16 (14 goals, 2 assists) in 20 outings, and it's little wonder that 'Seniorman' has an alternative nickname in Mr. FA Cup.

The Foxes number 14 played a key role enroute the final, scoring in consecutive matches against Brighton & Hove, Manchester United (2) and Southampton.

"2021 has been brilliant for us. We won two trophies and we did really well. It was brilliant. Hopefully, it will happen again," Iheanacho said to Leicester's official website.

“With football, you never know what will happen, but we’ll work towards this and hopefully the second half of the season will be very good for us.

“My personal highlight was Youri [Tielemans'] screamer (vs. Chelsea in the FA Cup Final). I was looking at the ball from when it left his foot until it went into the net.

“The feeling when the final whistle went, I couldn’t believe it, but it was a good feeling and I think everyone at Leicester City Football Club, and Leicester city as well, we really felt that was one moment that everyone loved."

Iheanacho was the hero for Leicester City when they won their second silverware of 2021, netting the winning goal from the spot against Manchester City in the FA Community Shield.
