Leicester City scrapped through to the Carabao Cup third-round after a penalty shootout victory over Stockport County.

The Foxes prevailed 3-1 in the shootout thanks to three saves from debutante goalkeeper Daniel Iversen.

Iversen also denied Callum Camps in normal time, which ended 0-0.

Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers told BBC Radio Leicester: "We didn't play quick enough and obviously in the final third of the pitch it was a little slow.

"We didn't speed up in that area of the field until we brought on James Maddison and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and that last 15-20 minutes there was a lot more aggression in our game.

"We didn't create too much and the individual quality in the final third wasn't quite there.

[On Daniel Iversen] "The things he had to do he did well - I've been really impressed with Daniel - his focus, concentration and he's really matured as a goalkeeper now."
