Iheanacho hat-trick for Leicester sinks Sheff Utd

Kelechi Iheanacho's first Premier League hat-trick helped Leicester City to a 5-0 win as Paul Heckingbottom's reign as Sheffield United interim manager got off to a losing start.

Iheanacho put Leicester in front in the 39th minute, tapping Jamie Vardy's square ball into an empty net.

Leicester doubled their advantage on 64 minutes through Ayoze Perez, who fired into the bottom-left corner from 20 yards.

Iheanacho latched on to a clever pass by Vardy to finish past Ramsdale for his second goal five minutes later before completing his hat-trick with a powerful low drive.

With 10 minutes left Vardy's shot was turned into his own net by Ethan Ampadu to complete the scoring.

Leicester remain third, 15 points behind leaders Manchester City.

A seventh consecutive defeat leaves Sheff Utd in 20th on 14 points.
