The historic Kelechi Iheanacho goal streak ended last weekend when the Nigerian striker failed to find the net for the first time in over three months.
However, Bursaspor still won, cruising to a comfortable 3–0 result, with Baker and Akbunar scoring the goals.
Hence, Kelechi Iheanacho’s goal in Bursaspor’s 4-2 away win against Keciorengucu becomes the signpost of the longest scoring streak of his career.
It was Iheanacho’s 16th goal of the season, and he has now scored in 12 consecutive games in the Turkish second division.
Bursaspor have scored 29 goals; Iheanacho has 16 of them, representing over 55% of the goals.
His current form in Turkey has completely eclipsed his famous 2021 all-competition streak with Leicester City.
Now leading the line for Turkish second-division side Bursaspor, he has transformed from an impact strike-scorer into an absolute goal machine.
The stats showcase a massive evolution across both historic scoring runs:
| Metric | The Leicester Streak (2021 Season) | The Bursaspor Streak (2026 Season) |
|---|---|---|
| Consecutive Games | 4 games in a row (expanded to 8 out of 11 across all competitions) | 12 consecutive league matches |
| Total Goals in Streak | 7 goals in that strict 4-game block (11 goals in 8 games overall) | 16 goals (plus 3 assists) |
| Competition Level | English Premier League & FA Cup | Turkish TFF 1. Lig (Second Division) |
| Milestone Broken | First time in his career scoring in 4 straight games | Longest consecutive scoring sequence in Turkish football history |
While his Leicester City streak was a legendary Premier League run that secured them an FA Cup trophy, his run with Bursaspor is a historic record-breaker, shattering the legendary Turkish football benchmarks previously held by greats like Metin Oktay.
At Leicester, Iheanacho mostly played as an impact sub by Brendan Rodgers before finding his groove alongside Jamie Vardy.
In Turkey, he started all 12 league matches, acting as the anchor of the team’s attack and driving them straight to the top of the table.
Iheanacho’s record rate of 16 goals in 12 games represents a far more lethal ratio than his 2021 Premier League peak.
He is averaging well over a goal per game, delivering multiple multi-goal performances, including braces against İstanbulspor, Manisa, and Batman Petrolspor.
