Leicester City’s Kelechi Iheanacho has been in scintillating form in the FA Cup this season and that form was unleashed on Peterborough this afternoon.
The Foxes went into the half-time break 3 goals up thanks to a brace from Nigerian wiz Iheanacho and one from Diabate.
Peterborough had themselves to blame for the opening two after they gave away possession following two poor throw-ins.

Leicester pounced on the opportunities slotting home 2 goals immediately after the slip ups but some argue Iheanacho should have passed the ball to Vardy for his first of the day.

The third was all Leicester though as Claude Puel’s men pulled together a fantastic move which was finished in devastating fashion my Kelechi to bag is second of the game.
