Kelechi Iheanacho has been named in Whoscored.com's Premier League Team of the Week for matchday 22. 

 

The Nigeria international was impressive as Leicester City came from behind to thrash Unai Emery's Aston Villa 4-2 at Villa Park on Saturday, having a hand in the three goals netted by the Foxes in the first half. 

 

After assisting James Maddison grab an equalizer in the 12th minute, Iheanacho with a diving header made it 2-2 in the 41st minute, before setting up Brazilian star Tete two minutes into first half stoppage time.

 

Seven teams are represented in the Premier League Team of the Week, namely Brentford, Brighton & Hove, Fulham, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

 

 

Keylor Navas starts in goal with a back four of Kenny Tete , Max Kilman , Ben Mee  and Rico Henry .
 

The four midfielders in the Team of the Week are Tete, Ruben Neves, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg  and Kaoru Mitoma, while Iheanacho is partnered in attack by Nottingham Forest's Brennan Johnson.

 

Iheanacho registered a joint-team high two key passes, one of his two shots was on target, and he also contributed defensively, making one tackle and two clearances while giving away four fouls.
