Daniel Iversen’s debutant heroics provided Brendan Rodgers some light relief from the Wesley Fofana transfer saga, as Leicester scraped through in the Carabao Cup second round against League Two Stockport on penalties.
Iversen had enjoyed a quiet game thanks to Leicester’s dominance but he showed what he could do when it mattered, saving three-quarters of Stockport’s penalties before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall completed the job. It was cruel on Stockport but they will be hoping this could kickstart their season, too, after a sluggish start on their return to the Football League.
