He noted that, Jamie Vardy has been struggling a little bit since mid-December with injuries which has curtailed the team.

“But Kelechi has done great for us, he worked very, very hard. Then Jamie coming on for the final half hour, you know his speed and threat he has, Rogers, said.”

Kelechi had chances to increase his tally for the season but was frustrated when he left the pitch, and replaced with Vardy on the 60th minute.

The 23 year old has not scored for Leicester City since finding the net against Aston Villa in the League Cup semifinal, second leg on January 28.
