Gillingham v Leicester City: Kelechi Iheanacho continues cup hot streak

All of the classic giant-killing ingredients were in place at an exposed Priestfield, but Kelechi Iheanacho ensured that Leicester City finally squeezed past Gillingham, the side placed 92nd in England’s professional league structure.

A bobbly pitch coupled with a swirling wind, a home crowd that was almost three times the average over their past four fixtures and opponents who spend every week scrapping for their club’s very existence. Given his side’s fitful season to date, Brendan Rodgers would have been forgiven for arriving in Kent with a sense of foreboding.

Yet while there were moments when Leicester looked uncomfortable, they were never truly unsettled by a team which has managed just seven goals in its 23 League Two fixtures so far this season.
