Iheanacho failed to continue with his goal-scoring streak, but he grabbed an assist as Leicester City were held 1-1 at Southampton.

His goal came after he conceded a penalty after he handled the ball in the box. Southampton took the lead from the spot before Iheanacho assisted Leicester City’s equaliser. 

He set up Jonny Evans with a cross for the defender to head past Southampton goalkeeper just seven minutes after the penalty incident.

The Nigerian had some good moments in the game but could not get that chance to score.

With that one point, Leicester City remain in third position, two points off fourth-place Chelsea in the race for Champions League football.
