Leicester handed a debut to their new £4.4million striker Fousseni Diabate as they come up against Peterborough in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday lunchtime. And it ended 5-1 in favour of Leicester in a match in which Nigeria’s Kelechi Iheanacho scored a brace while his compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi, got a goal to add to the pack of goals. Ndidi came in as a substitute as Leicester fielded a much youthful side with the likes of Vardy and Riyad Mahrez sitting out the game.
Iheanacho was the star man of the first half and could easily have had a hattrick of goals.
22-year-old Diabate sealed a move from French Ligue 2 club Gazelec Ajaccio earlier this week and goes straight into Claude Puel’s starting eleven..
