The Nigerian striker got very high rating after scoring and providing the two assists to help his team win.

The rating which was for every Leicester player in action was compiled by Leicester Mercury.

Reacting on Iheanacho’s performance, Leicester Mercury wrote:

”It looked like it would not be Iheanacho’s night with his passes sloppy in the opening 10 minutes, but he kept his head, flicking cleverly into Barnes’ path for the second, and showing a sharp turn and finish for the third. Held up the ball excellently.”
