Nigerian forward Kelechi Iheanacho came off the bench to hand Leicester City a FA Cup quarter-finals ticket as he scored in injury time against Brighton.

The Super Eagles then shared delight while talking to LFC TV after the game.

“I’m really happy,” the striker told LCFC TV.

“Everyone is smiling. It’s too cold so everyone wants to get home and I’m really happy to get the winner today in 90 minutes.

“It’s one of those games, it’s really freezing. So, everybody’s cold: people playing and people on the bench.

“So, when I scored, everybody in the stands, we’re happy. It’s really cold, they want to get in and go home! But it’s a fantastic game and we are looking forward now to the next round.”
