Watch Leicester City cult hero Kelechi Iheanacho win and score a penalty to help the Foxes lift the Community Shield last weekend.

After his FA Cup heroics and becoming Leicester’s top goalscorer in 2020/21, Iheanacho might soon be a ‘club legend’. That’s opposed to a cult hero – if he carries on in similar fashion in the upcoming campaign. Unfortunately for the Nigeria international, the Foxes signed another promising African striker this summer, Zambian Patson Daka.

That acquisition may scupper the rapid development of the former, however, just as he finally reaches potential and his confidence level hits dizzying heights. Iheanacho’s FA Cup goals were instrumental in assisting the East Midlands side’s quest for silverware at the end of last season. Then, of course, the ex-Manchester City man was left out of Leicester starting line-up for the Community Shield clash with his one-time employers.

Nevertheless, Iheanacho managed to impose himself on the match as a substitute; subsequently he produced some neat footwork and attacking prowess to win LCFC a slightly dubious along with contested penalty. Though the 24-year-old duly dispatched the spot-kick, winning Leicester their first trophy of the new term.

Above is a video of Iheanacho’s goal for the Foxes to relive the moment. Head over to YouTube to see the foul and trophy lift.

Sadly for viewers in the England who want to watch the Leicester-Wolves match on TV, 3pm Saturday kickoffs in the English top-flight are banned from being broadcasted. This is an old rule from years gone by which is still enforced; the thinking behind it is that people will be unmotivated to attend contests live in person if they have the option to watch at home.
