Iheanacho assists Leicester to victory over Onyedinma’s Rotherham

In a clash of Super Eagles, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi got one over Frank Onyedinma as Leicester beat Rotherham 2-1 in the EFL Championship.

Two goals from Kasey McAteer were enough to see the Foxes get the better of their hosts despite a goal from Onyedinma.

Leicester had to wait until late into the game to secure a winner after their opening goal, assisted by Iheanacho, was cancelled out by Onyedinma’s early second half goal.

Onyedinma would have been disappointed to land on the losing side despite a quality display, scoring his second goal of the season for Rotherham.

Iheanacho helped Leicester take the lead in the first half after a brilliant cross to create a chance for Kasey McAteer that was harder to miss than score.

Iheanacho’s assist was his first in the EFL Championship this season as the Super Eagles forward acclamatises to life in the lower rung of English football.

Next up for Leicester is a trip to Tranmere in the EFL Cup where Iheanacho has already shown his quality with a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win over Burton in the previous round.
