Iheanacho Decisive Goal Sends Leicester Through To FA Cup Quarterfinals
Kelechi Iheanacho scored a 94th-minute winner as Leicester edged past Brighton to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Substitute Iheanacho nodded in from Youri Tielemans’ cross to settle an otherwise unremarkable contest.
With both sides making seven changes for the tie, the first half was a slow burner and neither team were able to register a single shot on target.
The second half improved slightly with Andi Zeqiri and Cengiz Under both having efforts ruled out for offside.
The quarter-final draw takes place on Thursday, with matches being played across the weekend of 20-21 March.
Brendan Rodgers’ side, now beaten just once in 13 games, reached the last eight of the competition for the second successive season – and will be boosted by news that a nasty-looking knee injury to James Justin is not as bad as was first feared.
