Kelechi Iheanacho is stepping into the Jamie Vardy void

While the sheriff searches for a few answers, the deputy is starting to find himself. It remains to be seen whether Leicester can satisfy their grander ambitions if Jamie Vardy’s scoring difficulties are prolonged, but for now Kelechi Iheanacho is carrying the burden well. Kelechi Iheanacho celebrates with Jamie Vardy after scoring against Brighton on Saturday That one should go on a run of four goals in seven while his partner endures his driest spell in five years is exceptionally convenient. It was in 2016, during Leicester’s hangover season, that Vardy last produced numbers like these, with only one goal scored in his 14 games since Christmas. Kelechi Iheanacho produced a good finish to draw his side level during the second half ‘He has come up trumps for us a few times,’ said Rodgers, whose side trailed to Adam Lallana’s strike and almost went 2-0 behind when the same player hit the post.
