​Leicester cruise past Sheffield United

Leicester City have dispatched Sheffield United 4-1 at Bramall Lane to secure their progress to the third round of the Carabao Cup.

The Foxes opened the scoring just after half-time following a superb solo effort from Demerai Gray.

Islam Slimani doubled the lead eleven minutes later and then had his second not long after following some neat link up play with Gray.

Caolan Lavery pulled one back for the Blades before Ahmed Musa put the game out of reach in injury time.

Craig Shakespeare's side will travel to Old Trafford on Saturday to take on Manchester United.
