FA Cup Record: Kelechi Iheanacho Sets An FA Cup Goal Record

Published

With a 1-0 victory at Walsall on January 28, Leicester City, boosted by a goal from Nigerian footballer Kelechi Iheanacho, survived a shocking FA Cup exit.

Since making his tournament debut in 2016, the Nigerian has scored more goals than any other player.

23 minutes from time, Iheanacho’s shot from the edge of the box took a vicious deflection for the game’s lone goal, his 17th in 23 FA Cup games.

The first three teams to secure their spots in the cup’s round of 16 are Leeds and Leicester, along with Manchester City.
