In spite of his performance and scoring in Leicester City’s fifth-round exit in the FA Cup to Blackburn Rovers, Kelechi Iheanacho was utterly disappointed over their ouster from the tournament. The Nigerian striker however promised to net more goals in the Premiership.
Iheanacho came from the bench to score at King Power Stadium, after earlier goals from Tyrhys Dolan and Sammie Szmodics for Rovers, but his Leicester teammates could not save the team’s exit.
“It’s so disappointing, especially at home. It wasn’t good enough. If you don’t do what you need to do, you get punished. Obviously, that’s gone now, we need to look forward to the Premier League, but we need to do more,” the Nigerian ace told LCFC TV.
Iheanacho now has six goals this season, five of which have come since the New Year, including three in the FA Cup and he is excited to be back among the goals, but he showed his frustration with the result.
