Leicester City 2-1 Cardiff City: Debutant Cesare Casadei scores injury-time winner

Leicester City maintained their perfect start to the season in dramatic fashion as Cesare Casadei came off the bench to score an injury-time winner at home to Cardiff City.

Wanya Marcal-Madivadua fired the dominant hosts into a first-half lead with an emphatic first-time finish.

But against the run of play, Aaron Ramsey equalised before the break with a spectacular swerving strike from almost 35 yards.

That inspired a second-half revival from Cardiff, who wasted a fine chance to win as Yakou Meite shot wide, before Casadei - signed on loan from Chelsea on Tuesday - struck from close range to save Leicester.
