Nigerian sensation Kelechi Iheanacho scored two goals as Leicester City knocked Manchester United out of the FA Cup in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-final cracker which ended 3-1.

The Super Eagles striker promised to buy popular snack 'Gala' and then Fanta to celebrate the victory with his team-mate and compatriot Wilfred Ndidi.

Iheanacho was gifted the opening goal following a poor pass by Fred as the Nigerian rounded goalkeeper Dean Henderson before tucking he ball into the net.

Seven minutes into the second half Iheanacho did a one-two with Youri Tielemans who put Leicester 2-1 ahead.

And 12 minutes from time, Iheanacho headed home from Marc Albrighton’s free-kick to seal the win.

And speaking after the game, Iheanacho said via Daily Star:

“I can’t express the feeling – I feel great and the whole team are happy. We were waiting for this time and we’re into the FA Cup semi-final for the first time [in almost 40 years] so we’re happy.

“We focus on the next game and hopefully we can get to the final."

After his brace, Iheanacho has now overtaken legendary players like Didier Drogba, Alan Shearer, Robbie Keane, Heing-min Son and a host of others who have 12 goals in the history of the tourney.

He achieved the feat with lesser games - 13 goals in 18 games, compared to Ronaldo's reaching the same number after 26 matches. Scholes needed 47 appearances to match-up to the tally.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that Chelsea booked their spot in the FA Cup semis after salvaging a 2-0 hard-fought win over struggling Sheffield United on Sunday, March 21, at Stamford Bridge.

The match came at a time the Blues are enjoying a revival under Thomas Tuchel who remain unbeaten since taking charge.

The unbeaten run includes their 3-0 aggregate win over Atletico that booked them a slot in the quarter-finals of the Champions League earlier in the week.
