Burton Albion 0-2 Leicester City: Foxes ease into Carabao Cup second round

Leicester City comfortably won their first Carabao Cup first round tie in a decade as they beat League One Burton Albion.

Kelechi Iheanacho's deft left-footed flick from Marc Albrighton's cross gave Leicester a sixth-minute lead as the Foxes controlled the opening period.

Wilfred Ndidi's calm finish in first-half stoppage time ended the game as a contest while Iheanacho had chances to increase the lead after the break.

Leicester's debutant goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk was not tested as they remained in command.

The Foxes - who will go to Tranmere in the next round - made seven changes to the side that beat Coventry City on Sunday as Iheanacho, Albrighton, Dennis Praet and James Justin all made their first starts under new Leicester boss Enzo Maresca.
