Football: Iheanacho sends Leicester into FA Cup final
Leicester City reached SLOT เล่นเกมสล็อต ได้เงินจริงไหม โกงไหม the FA Cup final for the first time
in more than 50 years as Kelechi Iheanacho's goal secured a 1-0 win over Southampton at
Wembley on Sunday (Apr 18).
A disappointing game was settled 10 minutes after the interval as the in-form Nigerian striker
slotted at the second attempt after good work by Jamie Vardy.
Leicester, who have never won the FA Cup and last appeared in the final in 1969, will face
Chelsea on May 15.
A crowd of around 4,000, mainly local residents and key workers, were allowed to attend
the semi-final as part of a test event for the return of crowds as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
There was precious little for them to get excited about in a dull first half, but the second period
was marginally better.
It was no surprise that Iheanacho scored the winner as he has now netted 10 times in his last
seven games.
Southampton, who had not conceded a goal in reaching the semi-finals, rarely threatened and
failed to force a save out of Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Iheanacho was already the highest-scoring African player in the FA Cup, having overtaken
Chelsea's Didier Drogba (12) by scoring in the 3-1 defeat of Manchester United in the quarter-
final.
His 14th in the competition was all about the tenaciousness of Vardy, and a little bit of luck.
Vardy turned well on the left flank and powered forward before cutting a pass back towards
Iheanacho who had cleverly found some space in the area.
