BREAKING: Iheanacho fires Leicester to first FA Cup final in 52 years
Kelechi Iheanacho’s fine form continued as he fired the winner to book Leicester a first FA Cup final appearance in 52 years after a 1-0 semi-final success over Southampton on Sunday night.
"Brilliant composure for the winning goal. What a moment and what a goalscoring run Kelechi Iheanacho is on." 👏

After a poor first half where neither side created any openings of note, Iheanacho scored his 10th goal in his last seven games in all competitions to break the deadlock 10 minutes after the break – the first goal Saints have conceded in the FA Cup this season.
Into the #FACup Final for the first time since 1969.
How good does that feel? 💙 pic.twitter.com/S5lTCHqWFC

James Maddison came off the bench and went close twice to a second, but Saints offered very little in response down the other end, with Kasper Schmeichel relatively untroubled all match.
