Ademola Lookman scored his first Leicester goal as they beat Millwall in the Carabao Cup third round.

He pounced from eight yards out after Kelechi Iheanacho’s 20-yard shot had been parried by keeper George Long, Leicester’s first shots on target.

Iheanacho sealed the win as he ran on to a ball down the right wing, cut in and curled home.

Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes host fellow Premier League side Brighton in the fourth round.

Millwall had several chances in Wednesday’s defeat with Ryan Leonard missing, Connor Mahoney forcing a save and Ben Thompson heading over.

Both sides made plenty of changes from their weekend fixtures, and Leicester were well below their best in the first half.

The free-kick YouriTielemans sent over the bar was their only effort of the first half.

There were just two saves in the whole game – Danny Ward stopping Mahoney’s effort and Long’s parry that led to the opening goal.
