NEW FOOTY SEASON! Leicester City 2 Swansea City 1


Martyn Waghorn and Dany N'Guessan went on off the bench to score debut goals and give Leicester a 2-1 win over Swansea on their return to the Coca-Cola Championship.
Sunderland loanee Waghorn and N'Guessan were introduced by manager Nigel Pearson with the Foxes trailing to Ashley Williams's header.
Both scored in a three-minute spell to turn the game on its head.
Until then, the Swans had looked like clinging on to a win to end their opening-day hoodoo – they have now lost their first game in the past four seasons – especially when goalkeeper Dorus de Vries saved a Steve Howard penalty.
City looked bright in possession early on, with summer signing Richie Wellens quickly impressing the home faithful in the heart of midfield.
But Swansea took the lead after 15 minutes.
Mark Gower had a shot deflected wide by Matty Fryatt and took the resulting corner, which he delivered perfectly for the unmarked Williams to power home a header from six yards out.
But the first City goal finally came midway through the second half when Lloyd Dyer broke down the left and squared for Waghorn, whose shot flicked off Garry Monk on its way in.
The Foxes completed the turnaround just three minutes later when Oakley's corner was knocked back across goal by Howard for N'Guessan to net.
N'Guessan almost created another for Howard but he headed over the top, before the impressive N'Guessan thumped the crossbar with a header of his own from Nicky Adams's cross.

Blueeeeeeeeeeeeee Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmy!!!!!!!!
