The centre-forward is enjoying one of the best runs of his career, having netted ten in the past seven matches.

Leicester will take on Chelsea in the final, their first FA Cup final in more than 50 years.

"The FA Cup loves me and I love the FA Cup," said Iheanacho.

"I was in the right place at the right time.

"I've been unlucky in the past few years but it's working out well now and I need to go to the next level."

Asked about his striker partner Jamie Vardy, who set up the goal, Iheanacho added: "The partnership is outstanding.

"He has pace, he has everything. He set up the goal and I was in the right place at the right time."
