Kelechi Iheanacho

Nigeria international Kelechi ‘Seniorman’ Iheanacho’s fine form continued as he fired the winner to book Leicester a first FA Cup final appearance in 52 years after a 1-0 semi-final win over Southampton.

After a poor first half where neither side created any openings of note, Iheanacho scored his 10th goal in his last seven games in all competitions to break the deadlock 10 minutes after the break – the first goal Saints have conceded in the FA Cup this season.

It was his 15th goal of the season in 31 games that helped Leicester City reach the FA Cup finals for the first time since 1969. The Foxes will now face Chelsea, who recorded a surprise victory over runaway league leaders Manchester City, at Wembley on May 15.
