The goal has now extended his figure so far this campaign to 19 and seven assists in 37 appearances for the Foxes - 12 of which came in the English topflight.

According to stats provided by FlashScore Nigeria (@FlashScoreNG), the former Manchester City man scored most of his goals in the league this term on Sunday - with five goals recorded for him on this day.

His next best scoring day was on Wednesday having scored twice during the midweek and the rest had him find the back of the net once each.

As a reward for his progress, his goal against Crystal Palace was named goal of the month by Leicester City, while he was crowned Premier League player of the month once this season.

The attacker was instrumental to his side winning the FA Cup following their slim victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge earlier this month. Iheanacho is definitely unstoppable.
