Iheanacho Wins Goal Of The Month Award

Kelechi Iheanacho’s superb first-time volley away at Burnley has been named Leicester City’s Goal of the Month for March.

The award comes after he was named the Premier League’s player for the month of March.

Iheanacho’s strike beat goals from Ayoze Pérez, Youri Tielemans, Shannon O’Brien, Esmee De Graaf and Sam Tierney.

He has been nominated for the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month award in March after scoring seven goals in four games in all competitions for the Foxes in the month under review.

The 24-year-old forward is nominated alongside Luke Shaw (Man United), Alexandre Lacazette (Arsenal), Jesse Lingard (West Ham), Harry Kane (Tottenham) and Riyad Mahrez (Man City).

Iheanacho has now scored 12 goals and provided five assists in 29 appearances across all competitions this season and will be expected to continue the fine showings against West Ham United on Sunday.

His contribution has helped the King Power Stadium outfit to their current third spot on the Premier League standings, behind Manchester City and Manchester United.
