The records as listed:

1. Kelechi Iheanacho is the first player in England to be awarded a VAR goal.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria international has also scored 19 goals so far this season - setting a personal record in English football and also winning his first-ever FA Cup title after their triumph over Chelsea at Wembley Stadium earlier this month.

However, he could miss out on playing Champions League football next season if Leicester City fail to finish fourth on the Premier League table this campaign.

The Foxes face Tottenham Hotspur in their last EPL game of the season and they will hope for a favourable result at the end of the game.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Kelechi Iheanacho's influence seems to be spreading fast in the United Kingdom as he was interviewed in the Igbo language by a foreign presenter.

The 24-year-old forward felt surprised by the Premier League presenter who greeted him and asked for his name in his traditional language before the show continued.

Iheanacho must have felt outrightly proud at that very moment as he couldn't spill everything in his mouth afterwards.
