Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho and his compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi have won promotion back to the English Premier League (EPL) with Leicester City.
The Championship league leaders moved back to the British elite division without kicking a ball following Queen Park Rangers’ 4-0 win over Leeds on Friday night.
Ilias Chair and Lucas Andersen gave the hosts a two-goal lead in the first half before Lydon Dykes and Sam Field added two more goals after the break.
With the disappointing result, Leeds, who have a game left, remained second on the log table with 90 points and can no longer catch Leicester who sit top with 94 points with two games left.

Therefore, Ndidi, Ihenacho and their teammates are guaranteed the second position and automatic promotion to EPL, no matter what happens in the division.
Also, the emphatic 4-0 win over Leeds assured QPR of their place in the Championship for another year..
