My goal saved Leicester City from the cold – Iheanacho
Man of the Match, Kelechi Iheanacho, has said he had to score the winner against Brighton at the regulated time to save the team from the chilly weather in the FA Cup quarter-finals on Wednesday.
The striker, who is one of the most prolific scorers in the FA Cup, came off the bench to score via a header with virtually the last kick of the cup tie.

“Everybody was smiling in the dressing room that I saved them from the cold. It was too cold, freezing, everybody wanted to get home so I am glad I could get the winner in 90 minutes,” Iheanacho said after the narrow win.
“We’re now looking forward to the next round.
“It will be a dream most especially for the fans for us to win the cup.”
Compatriot Wilfred Ndidi made his comeback in this game after he was sidelined by a hamstring complaint.
