Iheanacho urges Leicester City on after victory over Leeds United

The Foxes kept two consecutive clean sheets for the first time this season after their victory against Leeds, and it looks like they could stage a late resurgence 

Super Eagles star Kelechi Iheanacho has praised his Leicester City teammates after their performance in the 1-0 victory against Leeds United, and he wants them to continue to churn out performances like that so that they can end the season on a good note.

Leicester City beat Burnley last week, and Saturday’s victory over Leeds was the first time the Foxes would win two consecutive games since last October.

Before these victories, the Foxes had been in poor form, winning just two of their previous ten Premier League games.

However, with their newfound form, Leicester City look like they pull a late resurgence to end the season on a good note. The English champions currently sit 12th on the PL log, and Iheanacho wants his teammates to continue with their brilliant performances.

“We need to keep the form going; we don’t need to relent; we need to keep working hard every day and keep the spirit of togetherness,” Iheanacho told LCFC TV.

“As you could see, the hunger was there in the two games. So we have to keep that, we don’t have to lose focus, we have to keep winning.
That’s why we have to do to get up there.” He added.

Leicester have 13 games left in the Premier League, and they sit twelve points away from the Europa League spots. A good run with some luck could land them a place in Europe.
