Iheanacho scores vital late goal as Leicester defeat Rennes

Leicester City have taken control of their Europa Conference League last-16 tie with Rennes after a 2-0 win in the first leg on Thursday.

Playing at home, Leicester went ahead after 30 minutes thanks to a superb goal from Marc Albrighton, which came about after excellent work from Harvey Barnes.

Rennes weren't messing around and perhaps should have been the first to score at the King Power.

But the Foxes preserved and eventually sent the home crowd into raptures when Kelechi Iheanacho put them ahead 2-0 on aggregate.

The Nigerian's 93rd minute goal could prove vital for Leicester's chances of reaching the quarter-finals.

The second leg will be played in France next Thursday.
