    Hamza Choudhury has scored four goals for Bangladesh

    Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury scored twice for Bangladesh as they drew 2-2 with Nepal in an international friendly in Dhaka.

    The 28-year-old equalised just after half-time with a spectacular bicycle kick, before giving his side the lead from the penalty spot with his second goal in the space of five minutes.

    Nepal equalised in stoppage time to leave Bangladesh without a win in their past five internationals.

    Choudhury now has four goals in six senior international appearances and is set to be involved again when Bangladesh host India in an Asian Cup qualifier next Tuesday.

    LISTEN: The De Cordova-Reid Impact

    Former Leicester City striker Steve Howard says that Foxes forward Bobby De Cordova-Reid has given boss Marti Cifuentes "a headache" when it comes to team selection.

    The Jamaica international scored his first league goal of the season to level the score against Norwich City on Saturday, before Jordan James netted the winner for the Foxes in added time.

    "He's an experienced lad, talks really well, you need people like that in your side when you're going through your barren spells and when your confidence is a bit low," Howard told BBC Radio Leicester.

    "He's now given Cifuentes a bit of headache, which is great.

    "He's now thinking 'well, I've produced for 15 to 20 minutes like you've asked me to. I've scored a goal, the team needs to score goals because it's obviously struggling in that department. Put me on and I'll show you what to do'."

    Leicester have scored 18 goals so far this season, the third lowest in the top 12.
