ALL KEL BREAKS LOOSE

Last-gasp dramatics show new Bhoy in his best light as he wins it for Brendan

- 

KELECHI IHEANACHO arrived a day after the transfer deadline expired and was dismissed by some people as a desperation signing.

But Brendan Rodgers did say his former Leicester City charge was a man for the big occasion rather than a busted flush.

Talk about the ideal way to endear himself to a fan base who were fuming over the circumstances that led to his arrival.

Some players might not have been too grateful to their boss for ordering them to take a 96-minute penalty when it seemed a couple of points were going to be dropped in front of a support who spent most of the afternoon protesting against their club's board.

But substitute Iheanacho rose to the challenge and sparked wild celebrations in the away end.

Rodgers had no doubt the striker was the man for the job and he's convinced there are more magic moments to come.

The Hoops boss said: "I was really pleased with Kels. I think the last penalty he took was for me at Wembley, when we beat Man City in the Community Shield, and that was another big moment there.

"And I think that's a big moment for him, with the supporters and everything else.

"We got the penalty but he's still got to score it, and he did that and we took the win.

“There's no doubt he's got big moments in him, and once he gets fitter, he’s only going to get better.
