Leicester City have praised Kelechi Iheanacho for his stunning goal in Tuesday’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations match against Egypt.
‘Senior Man,’ as he is affectionately known by his teammates in the English premier league, scored in the 30th minute to put the Super Eagles ahead in their opening match of Group D.
Early on in the game, Austin Eguavoen’s side pushed forward, threatening from both sides.
An Iheanacho left-footed shot into the bottom corner from Joe Aribo gave the Super Eagles a deserved lead in the first half.
Leicester City’s official Twitter account reacted to the goal with the message, “What a strike from!!”
