Iheanacho was a man in form in March, scoring five goals in three consecutive games. The 24-year-old’s first goal of the month was a fantastic volley in the 1-1 draw against Burnley, which was also nominated for the goal of the month.

He backed up the performance with another goal in Leciester’s 2-1 win over Brighton at the Amex Stadium. While he was impressive in the two games, Iheanacho best moment of the month came in the Foxes 5-0 win over Sheffield United.

The former Manchester City star made history as he scored his first Premier League hat-trick to become the fifth Nigerian player to score three times in a Premier League match.

He also scored twice in the 3-1 win over Manchester United, although that was a FA Cup quarter-final clash.
