Solanke Scores, Tomori Skippers Chelsea Team In Win Against Leicester City
Published: January 13, 2017
Four players of Nigerian descent Dominic Solanke, Fikayo Tomori, Ike Ugbo and Layton Ndukwu were in action at St George’s Park on Friday afternoon as Chelsea U23s registered their first away win of the season after thrashing Leicester City 4-0.
The Blues were three goals up by the 85th minute after Ali (2) and Johnson (OG) found the net.
Solanke, who proved a handful for the Foxes defenders, added more gloss to the scoreline with a fourth goal for Chelsea in the first minute of stoppage time.
The England U20 international came close to scoring on several occasions and was finally rewarded with a goal when he beat two defenders before firing into the bottom corner.
The Chelsea squad was skippered by defender Fikayo Tomori, who made his 12th appearance in Premier League 2 against Leicester City.
Leicester City’s Josh Debayo remained on the bench for the entirety of the contest.
