We maintained our 100 per cent start to the season with a Carabao Cup third-round victory against Leicester on Wednesday night, courtesy of a second-half own goal and Eddie Nketiah’s late strike.
The game got off to a frantic start as Kelechi Iheanacho blasted a shot wide in the opening 60 seconds, before Reiss Nelson sent an effort arrowing towards the top corner – only for Danny Ward to produce a fingertip save to divert it over.
Moments later Marc Albrighton played a fine ball in behind our backline for Kelechi to run on to, but Bernd Leno was quickly off his line to block the striker’s first-time effort.
