Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho showcased his scoring prowess, netting his first Championship goal of the season, as the Foxes secured a convincing 2-0 win over Norwich City at Carrow Road, MySportDab reports.

Iheanacho’s performance was a testament to his fine form and played a pivotal role in the victory.

Iheanacho had been eagerly awaiting his opportunity to find the back of the net in the league, and that moment arrived just before halftime.

A foul on Stephy Mavididi by a Norwich City defender led to referee Graham Scott pointing to the penalty spot. The twenty-six-year-old Nigerian forward stepped up confidently and dispatched the penalty with precision.

Despite a fingertip touch from Norwich’s goalkeeper Angus Gunn, the ball found its way into the net.

In the 68th minute, Iheanacho made way for the experienced English and Leicester City veteran, Jamie Vardy, whose influence on the match was immediate.

Vardy led a swift counter-attack, delivering a perfectly timed pass to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Hall, displaying skill and composure, maneuvered through the edge of the box before squaring the ball for Kasey McAteer, who had the simplest of finishes into an unguarded net.

Leicester City’s victory solidified their hold on the second position in the league standings, amassing a commendable eighteen points from seven games.
