On Tuesday Night, Kelechi Ihenacho scored a historic goal during the FA Cup replay encounter between his side, Leicester City and Fleetwood. Ihenacho became the first player in English football to score a goal via a video assistant referee decision as they overcame the League One side 2-0 at the King Power Stadium.
Kelechi Iheanacho according to Dailymail scored in each half but it was his strike 13 minutes from time that required the intervention of the VAR. Referee Jonathan Moss asked to check if the striker was offside before finishing off Riyad Mahrez's lovely reverse pass.
Replays showed Iheanacho was onside when the ball was played and the goal stood to see Leicester progress to a fourth-round tie away at Peterborough.
Speaking after the game, Leicester manager, Claude Puel expressed his support for the adoption of VAR by the FA stressing that the technology would assist in addressing contentious situation.
'I think we saw in the situation that it was important. It was a good thing for us. The video is not perfect because we should have had free-kicks for fouls on (Vicente) Iborra but for the goal it was good.'
Also speaking, the Nigeria international said;
'I didn't know if I'm onside or offside but I think Riyad told me that I was onside, so I concentrated on the goal. If there is a review, we just wait to see what the referee's decision is. The communication with the players is good enough.'
