His latest win comes after he was named the Premier Leagueโs player for the month of March. The Super Eagles star backed up his strike against Burnley with another goal in the 2-1 over Brighton.
However, his best moment came in the 5-0 win over Sheffield, where he scored a hat-trick to become just the fifth Nigerian to score three times in a Premier League game.
Iheanacho rounded up the month with a brace in Leicester Cityโs 3-1 win over Manchester United in their FA Cup quarterfinal clash.
