Leicester City thrash Torquay United 4-0 in round one of the League Cup.

Leicester City have thrashed Torquay United 4-0 to progress to the next round of the League Cup.

The Foxes took the lead after 21 minutes when Lloyd Dyer controlled Wes Morgan's pass before rounding the keeper and sliding the ball into the empty net.

Leicester's lead was doubled before half-time when they were awarded a free kick. Ben Marshall stepped up to whip a fine effort into the top corner, giving his side a two-goal cushion.

The match was put beyond any doubt towards the start of the second half when Jermaine Beckford found Matty James, who got his Leicester career off to the perfect start by scoring on his debut.

The Foxes weren't finished just yet, though, and capped a comfortable win off with another debut goal, this time for Jamie Vardy.
