Middlesbrough manager, Michael Carrick has backed Kelechi Iheanacho to score more goals for the club.
Iheanacho opened his goal account for Boro in the 3-1 victory over Oxford United at the Riverside Stadium on Saturday.
The 28-year-old struck in the 48th minute to hand the hosts the lead for the first time in the game.
“He (Iheanacho) is happy. We are trying to keep the smile off Neto’s face as much as anything! He was delighted too,”; Carrick told the club's official website.
“But Kel knows it. He has played at a level, and goals make you feel a bit better, naturally.
“I wasn’t concerned, I knew he would score and hopefully he has got more in him, I am sure he has. It was a massive goal for us.”;
DAILY POST recalls Iheanacho joined Middlesbrough on loan from Spanish club, Sevilla in January.
