Stephy Mavididi came clutch for Leicester City once more in a victory in the Championship over Huddersfield.
Super Eagles duo Wilfried Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho put up a decent showing, as Stephy Mavididi inspired Leicester City to their second victory of the Championship season.
The Foxes went away to John Smith's Stadium to face Huddersfield as they continued their mission to return to the Premier League after a successful 2-1 victory over Coventry in the first game of the season.
New signing Mavididi continued his impressive showing for Enzo Maresca's men, grabbing the winner against The Terriers after setting up Drewsbury Hall in a similar fashion against Coventry a week ago.
How it happened
Leicester came into this match with two wins in two playing in official games as a Championship team, and they were expected to pick up the win against Neil Warnock's men.

Super Eagles: Iheanacho, Ndidi on target as Leicester City seal Carabao Cup win
Leicester City qualified for the next round of the Carabao Cup after defeating League One team Burton Albion.
Maresca's team did control the game early on, as expected, but their hosts looked dangerous in transition.
The Foxes kept the bulk of possession, but the Terriers were not lacking in threat. However, neither team managed to land a telling punch in the first half.
Warnock's half-time team talk seemed to have sparked the right reaction from his players, as Huddersfield threatened to forge ahead at the start of the second 45, but the visitors stayed resolute and soon led a period of dominance of their own.

Leicester were soon rewarded for their industry, and the duo that combined for the winner against Coventry did so again today. Hall found Mavididi, who in turn finished brilliantly past Lee Nicholls.
Huddersfield had a late hurrah in an attempt to find an equaliser, but the 2015 Premier League champions held on to maximum points.
