Coach of Leicester City Brendan Rodgers has saluted Nigeria international forward Kelechi Iheanacho for his sensational goal in their 1-1 draw against Burnley in the English Premier League.
Iheanacho drew his side level with a well taken volley from a perfectly weighted pass from Wilfred Ndidi helping his team go into the half time break with a 1-1 score.
Rodgers surprisingly substituted the Nigerian at the start of the second half as they sort for a new tactical approach but that didn’t stop him from praising the quality of the goal scored by the ex Manchester City man.
“It was a great move. Like you said, a wonderful pass. Good combination play by the front two and Sensational strike. It was over his head, a wonderful volley and in the second half we really threatened. It was unfortunate because we still had chances to win the game”, he said after the game.
He gave further praise to Iheanacho in another separate interview terming it as a great goal and also credited the pass from Ndidi to set up the strike.
”It was a brilliant goal. It was a good move, we kept the ball well, and then Wilf makes a great pass. It’s good movement from the two strikers, and then fabulous technique.”
