Leicester reached the FA Cup final for the first time since 1969 thanks to a goal by their man of the moment, Kelechi Iheanacho. The Nigerian, already the highest scoring African in the tournament’s history, continued his glowing recent form by striking in the second half to set up a showdown with
Chelsea.
This was not Leicester’s most fluent performance under Brendan Rodgers but they were undoubtedly the better team and the way they eked out the result answered some questions about their ability to get the
Job done under pressure. Now Rodgers and his team will have an opportunity to lift the FA Cup for the first time in their club’s history.
