Former England World Cup star Gary Lineker has praised Kelechi Iheanacho after he came off the bench to rescue a League Cup semifinal at home against Aston Villa.
Lineker said he believes that Iheanacho can regain first-team place and shine under manager Brendan Rodgers.
“Iheanacho is blossoming under Rodgers. Brilliant finish,” the England legend tweeted after the Super Eagles striker came off the bench to finish off a Jamie Vardy through ball in the 74th minute.
Iheanacho has now scored six goals and provided two assists in eight games.
He has now scored in all League Cup appearances this season.
