Out of form Southampton proved to be a difficult knot to crack in the game and they eventually took the lead on the hour mark after Stuart Armstrong’s shot hit Iheanacho’s arm, and Ward-Prowse beat Schmeichel from 12 yards.

 

Iheanacho quickly dusts himself up and make amend eight-minute milatee when he sent a perfect ball into the Southampton box and Jonny Evans was there to head it home.

 

Iheanacho’s compatriot Wilfred Ndidi later wasted a glorious opportunity with few minutes left by firing wide when unmarked from 20 yards.

 

The draw against Southampton FC increases Leicester City points to 63 from 34 matches played.
