Football fans online have registered their anger and displeasure at a United Kingdom-based website after it ignored Kelechi Iheanacho’s picture in its post after Leicester City won the Community Shield on Saturday.
The football website “Football Daily” used Jamie Vardy’s image as the display picture of its post immediately after Leicester City’s victory over Manchester City at Wembley.
However, fans on Twitter criticized the website for ignoring Iheanacho’s picture whose image they felt out to be used since he scored the winning goal of the match.

You guys continue to champion your dislike in a subtle way, the hero of the game where is he? Yet we are trying to make football the beautiful game ..but look at this disappointing attitude.

Kelwchi Iheanacho who came on as a second-half scored the only goal of the match via a late spot-kick as Leicester claim their first Community Shield trophy.
The Super Eagles striker has now scored 40 goals and provided 16 assists in 129 games for Leicester City.
