Man City striker Iheanacho gives Nigeria draw with Senegal

Manchester City youngster Kelechi Iheanacho earned a draw for Nigeria in an international friendly with Senegal at Barnet on Thursday.

Fenerbahce striker Moussa Sow had given a deserved lead to the Lions of Teranga in the 54th minute of the game before the 20-year-old levelled the score.

Senegal looked set to claim a win, but their plans were foiled by Iheanacho, who won and converted a penalty in the 81st minute.

Nigeria will play Burkina Faso in another friendly at Barnet's The Hive on Monday.
