Iheanacho's Lone Goal Sends Leicester Into FA Cup Fourth Round by ogbiwa: 5:39pm On Jan 25, 2020 |
Leicester held off a spirited second-half effort from Championship promotion chasers Brentford to reach the FA Cup fourth round in the final tie to be held at Griffin Park. Kelechi Iheanacho scored the only goal of the game after just four minutes when he tapped in a cross from full-back James Justin, who had been found by Dennis Praet's superb raking pass. Leicester were the better team in the first half and Ayoze Perez should have doubled their lead when he was sent clear by Iheanacho but Bees keeper Luke Daniels made a good save to deny him. However, the hosts came out for the second half with a renewed vigour to their play, and they were unlucky not to equalise on the hour mark when Emiliano Marcondes' cross beat everyone and hit the post. Foxes keeper Danny Ward was also forced into a fine save to keep out Luka Racic's volley late on before second-half substitute Bryan Mbeumo saw a goal ruled out for offside. The youthful Bees pressed for an equaliser right up until the final whistle but the Premier League side held firm to book their place in the next round of the FA Cup. There were emotional scenes at the full-time whistle for the home fans at the end of Griffin Park's final cup tie, with the Bees set to move to the newly built Brentford Community Stadium before the 2020-21 campaign. Leicester goalscorer Kelechi Iheanacho, talking to BBC MOTD: "We are happy to get the win today and go to the next round. There was a lot of pressure from them. "It is very important as a team and as a group of players. We worked really hard to the end and stood our ground. I was a bit nervous because they kept coming. We defended well and in the end we got the win and are through." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51208458 22 Likes 2 Shares

Most of Nigerian players are performing wonders outside the shores of the country but would rather play like amateur players at home. I wouldn't blame them though when the government doesn't give a sh*t about them. 2 Likes |
