Kelechi Iheanacho nets brace in Leicester City's stalemate with Rotherham United
Kelechi Iheanacho scored both goals for Leicester City in their 2-2 stalemate with League One side Rotherham United in a pre-season game on Saturday.
After ending his 11-month goal drought against Cambridge United on Tuesday, the forward continued with a brilliant performance at the New York Stadium.
The 22-year-old Nigerian international put the Premier League side in front with his well-taken effort inside the area in the 11th minute.
Carlton Morris brought the Millers back into contention with his 38th-minute strike before Iheanacho restored the lead for his side.
The former Manchester City forward beat onrushing Rotherham goalkeeper Daniel Iversen before he left-footed his effort into the top corner in the 71st minute.
Michael Ihiekwe then scored in the 81st minute to deny the King Power Stadium outfit victory in the encounter.
A double for Kelechi at New York Stadium as the Foxes get more minutes under their belts.

Iheanaho will hope to replicate the performance for the Foxes when the 2019/20 season gets underway after failing to impress last term, which led to his omission from the Super Eagles' Afcon squad.
