Kelechi IheanachoΒ has been blamed by Leicester manager, Brendan Rodgers, after he missed a last minute chance to dent Manchester Cityβs Premier League title hopes.
Rogers, who believes the player has performed below expectation, this season, said there are no big chances in a big game like this and Iheanacho should have utilized the only opportunity he had.
He said:
βHe should score, I said that to him afterwards, in the big games there are not many moments.βIt was tight, we were very, very good in our defensive organisations. They didnβt have many chances and we didnβt have many. But the one that came, you have to score that. He knows.
βItβs moments when you can come into the game and make an impact, heβs a great boy, works very, very hard in training.
βHeβs got in front of him a top-class operator in Jamie [Vardy] so itβs difficult for him to find rhythm. However, itβs moments like that where you can make an impact. Heβs actually done that in the other games.
βIt was a big chance for him. The ball was there and it was on his good side. But it wasnβt to be. He got himself in the position β¦ I felt we would have deserved that at least,β Rodgers told a news conference after the match.
The Nigerian striker has only found the back of the net once in this season.
Would want to believe Iheanacho missed this on purpose.
