Rodgers extolled Iheanacho’s all round display in the encounter.

“He came into the game with a real fire in his belly to perform and did really well,” Rodgers said

“For a large part of my time here Vardy has been out number one striker, we brought Patson (Daka) in who could replicate that and Kelechi is a fantastic link player for us.”

Iheanacho has racked up one goal and one assist in 14 Premier League games for Leicester City this season.

Leicester City play Aston Villa next in a Premier League match at Villa Park on February 4.
