Leicester City coach, Brendan Rodgers singled out Nigeria international Kelechi Iheanacho for praise despite their 1-0 defeat to Southampton at the Saint Mary’s, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Carlos Alcaraz might have stole the show but Rogers was still designing enough to acknowledge the performance of Iheanacho in the game.
The 26 year-old had five shots on goal with a 3.4 out of 5 rating after despite getting close on two occasions in the game.
“He’s been brilliant for us of late.
He’s been the one who looks like the threat. He kept fighting and kept working,” Rodgers said.
“He had two really good headers but couldn’t make the finish.”
Iheanacho on Thursday was nominated for the player of the month award for February.
