Kelechi Iheanacho has won the Leicester City Goal of the Season award for his wonder strike against Crystal Palace in April.
The 24-year-old scored the match-winning goal in the encounter after Timothy Castagne had cancelled out Wilfried Zaha’s opener.
The centre-forward cut inside with his left foot before unleashing a ferocious shot past helpless goalkeeper Vicente Guaita.
The strike has been adjudged as the best from any Leicester player in the 2020-21 campaign and has been rewarded for his effort.
In scooping the individual accolade, the Nigeria international beat competition from Dennis Praet, James Vardy, James Maddison, Cengiz Under, Harvey Barnes, James Justin, Ayoze Perez, Youri Tielemans and Luke Thomas.
