Iheanacho: Why I like partnering with Vardy in Leicester attack

KELECHI Iheanacho has explained why he enjoys playing alongside Jamie Vardy in the Leicester City forward line.

The Super Eagles forward scored Leicester City’s equaliser to cancel out Matej Vydra’s goal in the 1-1 draw with Burnley on Wednesday night.

Iheanacho’s compatriot Wilfred Ndidi assisted the goal – a spectacular volley on the turn – with an accurate long pass, but Vardy also played a part in the strike.

“We’re talking about the little run from Jamie [Vardy] and the pass from Wilf [Ndidi] – that was the goal for me,” Iheanacho explained to LCFC TV.

“So, it was a great goal.“Playing with Jamie, I like playing with him. He’s a runner, if you have a great runner in the team, we know we have to find him, and give him good front passes for him to finish up. I like partnering with Jamie. It’s good.

”The former Manchester City star believes that Leicester City pushed for more after he scored the equaliser, his sixth goal of the season in all competitions, but he was content with a point that kept them in third place in the Premier League with 50 points.

“It wasn’t a bad game,” Iheanacho noted.

“I think it was a tough game for us and Burnley, they gave us a bit of heat, but we’ll take a point.

“It was a slow start from us, but after that goal, we got the momentum, got the rhythm, got them running and got the equaliser. We are together as a group and as a team.”

Iheanacho also praised goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, who first made some key saves, including a sensational stop to keep out Chris Wood’s powerful header.”Kasper is really good,” he continued.

“He’s been saving us since the start of the season.

“It was an end-to-end game. He made great saves in the first half and in the second half.

“We should have won the game. It was there for us to win. I wasn’t quite on for us, so we take a point.“We’ll go back now and get reset and recover well, and get ready for the game [against Brighton on Saturday].”
