LONDON (Reuters) -Kelechi Iheanacho scored a late penalty against his old club as FA Cup winners Leicester City beat Premier League champions Manchester City 1-0 in the Community Shield curtain-raiser to the season on Saturday. "The performance was really really good, especially for this stage of the season and the way we played in the second half," said the Spaniard. Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel also tipped a dangerously dipping Ilkay Gundogan free kick over the bar in the seventh minute. Every Leicester player, fan, staff member coming here, it was a really special feeling," Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers told BBC radio. Man City start the Premier League season at Tottenham Hotspur on Aug. 15 while Leicester are at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers the day before.
