Ghanaian international Jordan Ayew made a stunning debut for Leicester City, scoring his first goal for the Foxes in their commanding 4-0 victory over Tranmere in the second round of the Carabao Cup at the King Power Stadium.
Ayew, who recently joined Leicester from Crystal Palace, wasted no time making an impact.
He opened the scoring in the 38th minute with a sensational strike from outside the box, putting Leicester ahead just before halftime. The goal marked a memorable start to his new chapter with the Foxes.
Leicester’s performance improved as the game went on, despite making eight changes to the squad that lost to Fulham over the weekend.
Their Premier League quality came through in the second half, with Stephy Mavididi doubling the lead in the 51st minute by converting a penalty after Ricardo Pereira was fouled in the box.
Ayew continued to influence the game, setting up Wilfred Ndidi for Leicester’s third goal. Ndidi finished from close range after a clever flick from Ayew, who was clearly enjoying his debut.
The scoring was wrapped up by Harry Winks, who fired in a powerful shot from the edge of the box to seal a dominant win for Leicester.
The match also saw a touching tribute to former Leicester manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, who passed away on Monday. A minute’s applause was held in his memory, adding an emotional note to the evening.
This victory not only gave new Leicester manager Steve Cooper his first competitive win in charge but also showcased Ayew’s potential to be a key player for the Foxes this season.
