Super Eagles forward Kelechi Iheanacho has expressed his delight after scoring his first goals for Sevilla in their Copa del Rey victory over Las Rozas.
The Nigerian striker grabbed a brace as Sevilla secured a comfortable win, marking a memorable breakthrough since joining the Spanish club in the summer.
Softfootball understands that the goals have boosted Iheanacho’s confidence after a slow start to life at the La Liga side following his free transfer from Leicester City.
Sevilla had taken the lead in the first half through an own goal by Luis Mendez before Iheanacho doubled the advantage on the hour mark.
The 28-year-old completed his brace with another well-taken finish 11 minutes from time to cap an impressive performance.
Reacting after the game, Iheanacho said he was thrilled to finally open his account for the club, adding that the goals would strengthen both his confidence and that of the team as Sevilla target a top-six finish this season.
