Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers has heaped praises on Nigeria’s
striker Kelechi Iheanacho after scoring hitting a brace against
Sporting Braga on Thursday .
Iheanacho stole the show once again as he scored a brace and
assisted other two goals to help Leicester City to a comfortable 4
– 0 win Europa league over Braga.
The 24-year-old has now been directly involved in five goals in
just two Europa League starts for the Foxes this season.
In his post match conference, Rodgers described Iheanacho
display as excellent and praised him for helping the club maintain
thier momentum in the absence of Jamie Vardy.
“He’s (Iheanacho) a boy who I see every day in training, I know
when I put him in he gives his all. His first goal was fantastic,
he’s scored another one, created the third for Dennis.
” He’s always ready, he knows Jamie Vardy’s one of the best
strikers in the world, but he plays a wonderful part in ensuring we
continue with our momentum and I thought he was excellent,” he
said.

On the overall team performance, Rodgers has this to say : “We
had to work for it. By the end, we were very good, it was a tight
first half, with a couple of things to put right in terms of our
defending. But second half, after we got the goal we were very
dynamic, very strong. We created a number of chances, and it ended
up as a great victory for us.’
Leicester City are sitting on top of their Group with nine
maximum points from the matches played so far.
