Iheanacho goal sends Leicester to FA Cup fifth round
WALSALL, England: Kelechi Iheanacho spared Leicester City from a potential FA Cup giant-killing as his second-half goal saw the Foxes beat fourth-tier Walsall 1-0 and progress to the fifth round on Saturday , while Leeds advanced with a 3-0 win over Accrington Stanley.
It took 30 minutes for the Foxes to get a shot on target, and a frustrating afternoon was made worse as Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans' powerful effort from the penalty spot struck the post after Patson Daka was fouled inside the box. Walsall boss Michael Flynn engineered a shock win over Leicester when he was Newport County manager, but his side's late fightback this time was unsuccessful.
Jack Harrison put Leeds ahead with a spectacular long-range strike, guiding his first-time effort into the bottom right corner.
