At last! Kelechi Iheanacho ends Premier League barren spell.

Little did Iheanacho realize that his goal against the Tigers would be the last he’d get in the Premier League until nettingnagainst West Bromwich Albion on Saturday at the Hawthorns.

A run of 33 league games had passed, with Iheanacho making a stop at King Power Stadium along the way.
Against the Baggies, he started the game from the bench – replacing Shinji Okazaki in the 60th minute before inspiring his side to a 4-1 victory.

First, he assisted Riyad Mahrez for his side’s second goal before heading in the fourth thanks to Ben Chilwell’s cross.
