Nigerian Striker On The Mark As Leicester City Held By Legia Warsaw In PLIC
Published: December 14, 2017
Promising Nigerian striker Layton Ndukwu was on the mark as Leicester City U23s were held to a 2-2 draw by Polish club Legia Warsaw in the Premier League International Cup at Holmes Park on Thursday night.
The visitors took the lead in the tenth minute through Piotr Cichocki who fired the ball past goalkeeper Bramley.
The Foxes were back on level terms on 21 minutes when Ndukwu scored one of the simplest goals of his career to date, tapping in from close range after Gordon threaded a delightful pass into his path.
Josh Knight made it 2-1 Leicester after he was fed by the lively Layton Ndukwu in the 32nd minute.
But they failed to protect their one-goal advantage as Mateusz Bondarenko restored parity for Legia Warsaw midway through the second half.
Steve Beaglehole's team came close to grabbing a winner when Ndukwu was denied by Konrad Jałocha in the closing minutes.
Leicester City U23s have four points from their first two matches in Group B of the Premier League International Cup, and will tackle Joshua Maja's Sunderland in their next fixture on January 23.
