Iheanacho Hails Winning Goal

“To be fair, I don’t have words and I don’t know how I did that, but we’ve done it,” Iheanacho told Sky Sports after his late match‑winner.

“I think first of all I just remember that I’ve thought this type of thing before and I just kept my cool and brave.”

“It’s scary to be fair but I don’t know what I was thinking.”

“Thank God we got the win so we’re happy.”
