Leicester City were looking to advance to the quarter-final of the FA Cup when they welcomed Championship side Blackburn to the King Power Stadium.

Nigeria striker who was disappointed with the result of the game and he shared his thoughts.

 

“I am so disappointed, I don’t even have the words now especially because we were at home,” the 26-year-old striker said on the club’s YouTube channel.

“We did our bit but it was not enough. If you don’t do what you have to do, you get punished. We just have to look forward to the Premier League and do better,” Iheanacho added.

 

The loss was Leicester City’s third straight defeat in their last three games. Meanwhile, they would travel to Saint Mary’s Stadium to take on relegation-threatened Southampton on Saturday to get back to winning ways.
