December 9, 2019 Iheanacho scores, assists in Leicester victory over villa

Iheanacho scores, assists in Leicester victory over villa

Super eagles’ forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, assisted the English forward, Jamie vardy in the opening 20 minutes of the game.

Iheanacho added the Foxes’ second from close range as the visitors looked to have taken control before the break, only for Villa captain Jack Grealish to whip an effort into the bottom corner on the stroke of half-time.

Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester City thrashed Aston Villa to make it a club-record eight Premier League wins in a row and keep alive their hopes of catching leaders Liverpool.

Brendan Rodgers’ side reduced the deficit on top spot to eight points once more with a clinical display at Villa Park, in which former England striker Vardy netted for the eighth successive match.

The hosts’ comeback was short lived, however, with Jonny Evans heading in from a corner shortly after the interval.

Vardy then dashed clear with 15 minutes remaining to slide an effort beyond Heaton and put the game out of Villa’s reach.

Leicester remain second in the top flight, but now have a six-point advantage over Manchester City after Pep Guardiola’s side were beaten by Manchester United on Saturday.

Anthony Joshua insists he is ready to “rock and roll” with Oleksandr Usyk, if a WBO title defence is enforced next after his points win over Andy Ruiz Jr.

“In 180 days? Let’s rock and roll mate,” said Joshua at his post-fight press conference, when asked about Usyk.

“No problem,” he added.

“There’s an IBF mandatory, there’s a WBO mandatory,” promoter Eddie Hearn said
