If Wilfred Ndidi really does leave Leicester for their bitter rivals Nottingham Forest in the coming days, at least he left something sweet to remember him by.
The Nigerian midfielder has been a fine servant for the Foxes, playing almost 250 games, but would no doubt prefer to be playing in the Premier League.
Forest would be hardly high on the acceptable list for any Foxes fan but Ndidi potentially signed off here with a goal and an assist as Leicester eased into the Carabao Cup third round.
It took a little while for the 69-place gap between the Championship leaders and League Two strugglers Tranmere to show but once Ndidi fired in off the post, it was game over.
