Kelechi Iheanacho is currently in top form as he scored and provided an assist again to help Leicester City hammer Aston Villa 4-1 during their Premier League clash at Villa Park.
Jamie Vardy scored for the eighth league game in a row to break the deadlock after being played through the Villa defence.
Iheanacho released the forward through the middle of the Villa defence even with Mings still in place. He speeds away from Konsa and rounds Heaton. Vardy mis-kicks his first strike at goal, but fortune was on his side as he was able to gather his effort ahead of the recovering Villa men and slot it into the net.
With Vardy and Iheanacho looking potent on the counter, the Super Eagles’ man notched the second goal for the visitors as he converted from James Maddison’s low cross towards the near post.
Maddison was afforded space and time down the left flank. He whips a low cross in hard towards the run of Iheanacho.
Fantastic performance from the team. Happy to get another goal and assist. 8 wins in a row that’s it 💪🏾 pic.twitter.com/EC3RiP2FoQ

The ball takes a deflection off Konsa on to the boot of Iheanacho to find the bottom-left corner.
The Foxes seemingly had command of the contest, but Jack Grealish’s deflected strike just before the interval to give the home side a lifeline.
However, the notion of a comeback was quickly dispelled by the visitors when Jonny Evans headed home James’ Maddison’s corner.
Vardy wrapped up the victory with a clinical finish on the break to take his tally to 16 goals for the season.
Another win for The Foxes. And not only do they keep getting wins, but they do it with style. They are a joy to watch.
The gap with Manchester City becomes 6 points, while the gap with Liverpool remains 8 points.
