da 888: Leicester beat Arsenal 3-1 at the King Power stadium last night to earn their first win against the Gunners in 24 years as Arsenal’s dreadful away form continues.
da bet sport: Kelechi Iheanacho was a central figure putting in a man of the match display.
The ex-City striker calmly slotted the opener past Petr Cech after poor defending from Arsenal, who had 20-year-old defender Konstantinos Mavropanos sent off two minutes later after he brought down Iheanacho as he broke through on goal.
The young Nigerian put in one of his strongest performances for Leicester in what has been a stop-start debut season since his move from Manchester City.
Iheanacho scored only his second league goal for Leicester in the victory to take his goal tally to seven for the season.
After a slow start to his career in the East Midlands, The Sun linked the Nigerian striker with a move away from the club. However the 21-year-old is determined to prove his worth:
“That’s what every player wants, to play. When you work hard, you get your chance, so I’ll keep working hard and see what’s next.”
Leicester supporters took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Iheanacho’s man of the match performance…
