Nacho-Man helps us go to the Semi-Finals!

Leicester are only 2 wins away from winning the FA Cup, for the first time ever after beating Manchester United 3-1 to face Southampton in the Semi-Final… Another 9-0?!

Despite missing James Maddison, James Justin, Harvey Barnes and Ricardo Pereira through injury, Leicester remained a force to be reckoned with and took the lead in the quarter-final tie at the King Power Stadium through Kelechi Iheanacho when the striker took advantage of a horrendous pass from Fred.

United scored against the run of play through Mason Greenwood, but the Foxes remained the brighter team and regained the lead through a fine Youri Tielemans strike.

Subs: Fernandes (6), Shaw (7), McTominay (6), Cavani (6)

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had decided to rest a handful of his United regulars but sent on Bruno Fernandes, Luke Shaw, Edinson Cavani and Scott McTominay with 25 minutes left. However, it failed to spark the visitors as Iheanacho wrapped up the game with a back-post header with 10 minutes remaining, netting his seventh goal in his last four appearances.

This is what Leicester Fan Tv Sam had to say about Leicester reaching the Semi-Finals for the first time since 1980’s…
“It was a great win against a good Manchester United team, but we need to take it as the win and now move onto the Semi-Finals and face Southampton. We have got the easier side to the competition, but we need to not bottle it now that we have come this far, arguably Man Utd was a harder match than the Semi-Finals against Southampton, so let’s go to Wembley, and smash the saints! We’ve done it before, so why not do it again?!”
