Leicester striker Iheanacho delighted to score with header

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho was happy to score in victory over Fulham.

Iheanacho's first Premier League goal of the season set them on their way to victory at Craven Cottage.

“Actually I wasn't expecting the header," the 24-year-old told the club's official website.

“I got in the space between the two central defenders and I got the header, so I'm delighted.

“I'm always working in training. I need to work really hard to get my chance.

“Sometimes, the gaffer switches the team around, so I need to work for my chance. When it comes, I need to take it and that's what I did tonight."
