Leicester City reached their first FA Cup semi-final for 39 years with a fully deserved win over Manchester United at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes’ hero was in-form striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who struck twice and now has nine goals in nine games.

He took advantage of Fred’s awful backpass to round Dean Henderson to score in the 24th minute after the hapless Brazilian was played into trouble by captain Harry Maguire.

Mason Greenwood crowned a crisp United move to equalise before half-time but YouriTielemans restored Leicester City’s lead with a fine low shot seven minutes after the break before Iheanacho took advantage of shocking marking at a free-kick to head in Leicester’s third after 78 minutes.

Football Naija's tweet - "Kelechi Iheanacho (13 goals) is now the highest  scoring African player in #FACup history. He surpasses 4-time winner Didier Drogba's  record of 12 goals. ? " - Trendsmap

Leicester City will face Southampton in the Semi-final of the Tournament while Eight-time winners Chelsea will play quadruple-chasing Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals.

The FA Cup final will be played at Wembley on the 15th of May.

It could be played in front of 20,000 fans because it has been earmarked as one of the proposed pilot events to test the return of big crowds to UK venues.
