Leicester City must focus on rediscovering their Premier League form after suffering a 1-0 defeat by Norwich City on Friday, according to striker Kelechi Iheanacho.

- Iheanacho had a goal disallowed by VAR at Carrow Road

The Nigeria international frontman had a goal disallowed in the second half for handball following a VAR check before Jamal Lewis fired in from range to win it for the hosts.

Iheanacho says City must now focus their efforts on adding to their points tally with 10 Premier League games to go in 2019/20.

“It was a disappointing evening, especially for us,” Iheanacho reflected to LCFC TV. “We shouldn’t have lost this game, but unfortunately it happened, so we should do more.

“The next games, we should concentrate, focus and work really hard to make sure we get the points that we need.

“Obviously, that wasn’t a goal from VAR, but I haven’t watched the replay. I thought it hit the defender’s shoulder, but I wasn’t sure it hit my hand.

“If that’s the rule, there’s nothing we can do about it. We just move on.

It’s disappointing, it’s disappointing for us, but as I said before, we just move on to the next one and make sure we get the points that we need.

“It’s disappointing, it’s disappointing for us, but as I said before, we just move on to the next one and make sure we get the points that we need.”

Next up for the Foxes is a fifth round encounter with Birmingham City in the Emirates FA Cup, with Iheanacho bagging the winner against Brentford in the last round to set up the King Power Stadium tie.

“At this point, there is not a lot, because we’ve got 10 games left and the FA Cup,” Iheanacho added.

“We need to be focused and we need to work hard and make sure we get our mentality right to make sure we get the points that we need.”
