Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, scored his 40th Premier League goal for Leicester City as they came from behind to win for the second time in a row thrashing a dreadful Tottenham Hotspurs 4-1 at the King Power stadium on Saturday.
The goal was his third EPL goal of the season in 16 appearances (28th in 138 EPL games for Leicester since he joined from Man City in August 2017) and his fourth against Tottenham in 11 matches.
The Nigerian who has been in fine form for the Foxes also made an assist in the encounter to take his tally to 24 in English topflight league in the competition since he made his debut in August 2015.
Iheanacho also became the second Nigerian after Yakubu Aiyegbeni (135) to record over 100 shots in the EPL on Saturday.
Aside from the goal and assist the former Manchester City forward had in the Foxes big win against Spurs, Iheanacho completed 100 per cent dribbles, seven duels won, four shots taken and two tackles made.
His compatriot Wilfred Ndidi came off the bench in the 69th minute for Nampalys Mendy.
