NIGERIA international, Ahmed Musa was an unused
substitute as Leicester City recorded a 3-0 victory over in the Premier League at
the Kingspower Stadium on Saturday.
The Super Eagles winger who featured in Leicester’s 3-0
win at Club Brugge in their Champions League game midweek however watched
proceedings from the bench as Algeria international, Islam Slimani marked his
Premier League debut with a pair of headed goals.
Signed for the champions for a reported club-record fee
of around £30million on transfer deadline day, Slimani wasted little time in
endearing himself to the Leicester faithful.
Slimani, one of two changes from that defeat at Anfield,
opened the scoring in first-half injury time when he rose to powerfully head
home Christian Fuchs' excellent set-piece delivery.
And his second arrived straight after the interval,
another close-range header following good work from compatriot Riyad Mahrez,
whose low cross deflected in off Ben Mee late on to cap a resounding win.
