Carabao Cup: Tranmere Rovers 0-2 Leicester City - Jamie Vardy scores as Foxes reach third round

Two goals in four second-half minutes allowed Leicester City to overcome Tranmere Rovers and reach the third round of the Carabao Cup.

City had the better of the first-half possession but failed to have an effort on target as Tranmere had a couple of efforts.

Wilfred Ndidi's strike from a difficult angle put the Foxes in front 10 minutes after the break.

Soon after Jamie Vardy got his first goal of the season as he headed home Ndidi's cross at the back post.

Tranmere's 42-year-old goalkeeping coach Joe Murphy donned the gloves as he did in the first round - more than 23 years after he kept goal for Rovers as an 18-year-old in their 2000 League Cup final loss to the Foxes at the old Wembley.
