Record signing Leonardo Ulloa scored his first goals in a Leicester City shirt as Nigel Pearson's men claimed victory at Rotherham last night.
The Argentine striker demonstrated why City were so keen to sign him in a deal which is potentially worth £10 million, with two neat finishes inside 10 first-half minutes at The New York Stadium.
Danny Drinkwater was also on target for City as they continued their unbeaten build-up to the opening game of the Premier League season, but there were concerns for City when Anthony Knockaert had to be helped off the pitch in the second half with an injury.
After the win at MK Dons on Monday night it was the turn of the rest of Nigel Pearson's squad to get a full 90-minute work-out at The New York Stadium.
Only Jamie Vardy and Matt Upson were missing from the players who were not involved at Stadium:MK.
Vardy is still recovering from a thigh problem while Upson has not featured at all in pre-season because of a foot injury and the England international is unlikely to feature against Everton on the opening day of the season.
Vardy's absence gave a chance to youngster Tom Hopper to impress in a supporting role to record signing Leonardo Ulloa, who was given another run out as he integrates into the City squad after his £8 million move from Brighton and Hove Albion.
Rotherham were certainly a different proposition to MK Dons on Monday night.
Buoyed by their League One play-off success, the Millers were much more physical and direct than the Dons and City had to work hard to create many clear-cut chances.
At times they did put some excellent passing moves together but the Millers were proving stubborn opponents.
The breakthrough did come in the 29th minute. After arguably City's best period of possession and a sweeping move, Matty James's shot was blocked but the ball fell to Ulloa who dragged it out of his feet and beat Scott Loach with a neat finish.
The Argentine had another half chance before he doubled his tally nine minutes later when he was picked out by Ritchie De Laet's exquisite cross and Ulloa stooped low to head home from close range.
Former Nottingham Forest striker Matt Derbyshire had the best of the half chances for the hosts as he fed off giant centre forward Alex Revell, but Kasper Schmeichel remained largely untroubled.
The Millers almost reduced the arrears straight after the restart when Marcin Wasilewski tripped substitute Kieran Agard just outside the box and Agard curled the resulting free kick just wide.
Then Conor Newton tested Schmeichel, who skippered City on the night, with a dipping strike from long range.
Ulloa almost had his hat-trick in the 54th minute when De Laet slung in another dangerous cross and Ulloa's header was pushed around the post by substitute keeper Adam Collin, but the Millers were finally a goal threat themselves and again Schmeichel had to push away Ryan Hall's effort before Jordan Bowery fired just wide of the far post.
The goal eventually came for the Millers on the hour when the ball fell for Agard on the edge of the box and he beat Schmeichel with a low drive into the bottom corner, but Danny Drinkwater added City's third four minutes later with a neat finish at the far post
Ulloa was denied his hat-trick by a good Collin save before there was bad news for City as Knockaert had to be helped off the pitch with an injury.
The Frenchman's departure was the one big set-back on what was otherwise a positive night for City as they prepare to face Everton in 11 days time.
