Kelechi Iheanacho scored his 12th league goal of the season as Leicester City slumped to a 1-3 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge putting their top four hopes in doubt.
Iheanacho who started in the 1-0 FA Cup final win over same opponent started from the bench but his Nigerian counterpart at the same club Wilfred Ndidi kept his place in the starting line up.
With Leicester City trailing 0-2, coach of the team Brendan Rodgers threw in the Nigerian who is their top scorer this season and he didn’t disappoint as he pulled a goal back with 14 minutes left to
play.
Ndidi snatched the ball as Chelsea tried to play it out from the back and fed Iheanacho who was free in the box, the 24 year old side footed a first time effort past Edouard Mendy to hand his team a lifeline heading into the final ten minutes of the game.
The goal saw him go into the record books as the first player in the history of the English Premier League to score on everyday of the week in same season.
Prior to the game he has scored on every other day bar Tuesday and finally did but still ended up on the losing side despite their late push to get a leveler.
Chelsea however hanged on to claim all three points and move up to 3rd on the table replacing Leicester City who now need to win their last game to fend off 5th place Liverpool who are just one point behind but have played two games less.
