Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho says you can call him "Mr. Var" after his winner against Everton on Sunday.

Iheanacho scored the first goal awarded by VAR in England in his side's third-round replay against Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup in 2018.

And the technology helped adjudge him onside when he scored the winner deep into stoppage time against the Toffees.

He told BT Sport: "I've been waiting for this opportunity. I knew one day it's going to come. I'm happy today to get the goal and assisting Jamie.

"You can call me Mr.VAR [Iheanacho scored the first goal awarded by VAR in England in his side's third-round replay against Fleetwood Town in the FA Cup in 2018] - I knew it was a goal. I was onside. Happy that VAR gave me it."
