Kelechi Iheanacho scored his first Premier League goal of the season while Wilfred Ndidi provided an assist in Leicester City’s 1-1 draw against Burnley in Wednesday’s Premier League game.
Iheanacho was handed his sixth league start at Turf Moor and utilized the opportunity to add to his tally this season.
His compatriot Ndidi was afforded his 14th Premier League appearance in the encounter and delivered an impactful performance.
The Nigeria internationals combined well to save the Foxes from a third consecutive defeat after losing against Slavia Praha and Arsenal last time out.
Leicester found themselves on the back foot as early as the fourth minute when Matej Vydra opened the scoring after finding himself in a one-on-one situation with
goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.
The Foxes made several attempts to try and level proceedings and their efforts paid off when Ndidi sent in a fine cross to Iheanacho, and the forward connected well and fired in a superb first-time volley into the back of the net.
