Back to matters on the pitch and those two goals from Kelechi Iheanacho helped Leicester to beat Fleetwood, earning the Foxes a trip Peterborough in the fourth round on 27 January.
Walcott passes medical – reports
Sky are reporting that Theo Walcott has passed his medical at Everton and agreed terms with the Toffees, so we could be seeing him a blue shirt very soon.
Iheanacho brace puts Foxes through
Back to matters on the pitch and Nigeria striker Iheanacho, a £25m summer move from Manchester City, also scored in the first half with this calmly-taken finish as former Premier League champions Leicester saw off mid-table League One side Fleetwood.
Get Involved – Footballing firsts

So it was a seminal moment at the King Power Stadium last night, Kelechi Iheanacho is a name you will have to have etched in your memories for quizzes of the future, along with the first test tube baby…(Louise Brown, Oldham, 25 July 1978).
We would like to know your favourite footballing firsts, landmark moments, that mean a lot to you, if not to many others. Your hero’s goal on debut, Jermain Defoe in 2004 for instance. Perhaps you scored the last goal on your school playing field before it made way for a housing estate?.
VAR explained
Former referee Mike Riley has been the subject of some vitriol from fans over the years, but here is the Professional Game Match Officials Board chief (that title still sounds odd) to explain how VAR can settle some key moments.
VAR team set to present findings
In today’s Guardian, details of a team of Belgian academics from the University of Leuven, who will present two years of findings regarding the VAR system to the International Football Association Board in Zurich. VAR could then become part of football for good, with an IFAB board AGM scheduled for March.
Third time lucky
It was the third time the video assistant referee has been used as a trial in English football, all this month, after Brighton v Crystal Palace in the FA Cupand Chelsea v Arsenal in the Carabao Cup.
The video referee was consulted in both of those games, but never used to reverse a decision.
Iheanacho scores first VAR goal
So around one minute and 45 seconds they reckon it was, after Kelechi Iheanacho’s goal was initially flagged offside, for video referee Mike Jones to inform ref Jon Moss that it should be allowed to stand and Moss made a square shape gesture – in the shape of a deluxe flatscreen TV – to signal that he was awarding it.
Welcome
Hello again and welcome to another Football Special. It was a ‘where were you?’ moment last night, not Vardy but VAR at the King Power Stadium as Leicester beat Fleetwood with the first goal awarded by the video assistant referee system.
We’ll look back at the FA Cup replays and ahead to tonight’s three matches, plus bring you the latest on Theo Walcott and other transfer rumblings.
