LEICESTER, England (Reuters) - Kelechi Iheanacho scored a superb hat-trick as Leicester City crushed bottom side Sheffield United 5-0 on Sunday to move second in the Premier League table. He only managed delayed the inevitable, however, and Leicester went ahead in the 39th minute when Jamie Vardy latched on to a clever pass and his perfect centre left Iheanacho with a simple tap-in. Perez added the second in the 64th minute with a low shot before Vardy again set up Iheanacho for another simple finish. Sheffield United remained bottom on 14 points, 14 behind Newcastle United in 17th place. I'm grateful to God, my team mates and my manager for helping me grow," Iheanacho told Sky Sports.
