LONDON (Reuters) -Leicester City reached the FA Cup final for the first time in more than 50 years as Kelechi Iheanacho's goal secured a 1-0 win over Southampton at Wembley on Sunday. Leicester, who have never won the FA Cup and last appeared in the final in 1969, will face Chelsea on May 15. Iheanacho was already the highest-scoring African player in the FA Cup, having overtaken Chelsea's Didier Drogba (12) by scoring in the 3-1 defeat of Manchester United in the quarter-final. "It's amazing for the club who have waited a long time to get to an FA Cup final," manager Brendan Rodgers said. "We left everything on the pitch that was possible for us but we had no shots on target," Southampton boss Ralph Hassenhuettl said.
