Nigeria international forward Kelechi Iheanacho has been nominated for Leicester City Goal of the Month prize for March.
In-form Iheanacho has four goals up for the monthly award – efforts against Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion, plus two of his three strikes in the 5-0 triumph over Sheffield United – as the Nigerian netted seven times in March for the Foxes.
Efforts from outside the area for Ayoze Pérez, also against the Blades, and Youri Tielemans, in the Emirates FA Cup success over Manchester United, complete the first team representation in the 10-goal shortlist.
While City’s men are third in the Premier League, LCFC Women remain top of the FA Women’s Championship after securing three crucial wins in March, leading to a trio of strikes also being nominated for the Goal of the Month prize.
Shannon O’Brien’s second in a 7-0 victory at London Bees, Esmee De Graaf’s long-range stunner later on, and Sam Tierney’s opener at Durham Women are also in contention, as well as Kasey McAteer’s effort for the Club’s Development Squad against West Ham United Under-23s.
