WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Iheanacho volley earns Leicester point at Burnley

A stunning volley from Kelechi Iheanacho earned Leicester City a 1-1 draw with Burnley at Turf Moor.

Matej Vydra had given Burnley a fourth-minute lead when he pounced on a mistake by Hamza Choudhury to score his first Premier League goal since February 2020.

But Leicester were back on level terms in the 34th minute through Iheanacho's sublime first-time volley from Wilfred Ndidi’s pass over the top.

Sean Dyche's men almost restored their advantage shortly after half-time, but Chris Wood's header was brilliantly saved by Kasper Schmeichel.

Burnley continued to press for a winner and a sweet half-volley by Ashley Westwood came back off the post.

The result keeps Burnley in 15th on 29 points, six above the relegation zone, while Leicester remain third on 50 points.
