Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho’s late VAR-awarded winner piled more misery on Marco Silva as Leicester reclaimed
second spot in the Premier League with a dramatic 2-1 victory over Everton at the King Power Stadium.
Substitute Iheanacho broke Everton hearts in the fifth minute
of stoppage-time when he was allowed to stride through and
slot his first Premier League goal of the season past
Jordan Pickford, despite being flagged for offside initially.
Amid scenes of confusion, referee Graham Scott let play continue before VAR allowed the goal to stand, with the initial on-the-field ruling of offside deemed incorrect, sparking jubilant celebrations from the Leicester players and backroom staff.
FULL-TIME Leicester 2-1 Everton
