Kelechi Iheanacho showed off his Premier League pedigree as Leicester notched up a second win in two games under new boss Enzo Maresca.
Having been made to sweat for victory in their Championship opener against Coventry, the Foxes’ progress was far more serene at the Pirelli Stadium as Maresca made seven changes and watched his side saunter past League One Burton Albion.
Leicester were in cruise control from the sixth minute when Dennis Praet and Marc Albrighton linked up for the latter to pick out Iheanacho in the six-yard box.
The unmarked Nigeria striker drew upon the class of a man with 42 top-flight goals to his name to back-heel the visitors into the lead.
