Iheanacho, in an interview with SkySport, said he should now be called ‘Mr VAR’ after the dramatic goal for his side.

“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 – I knew it was a goal. I was onside. Happy that VAR gave me it,” he said.
