George Ndah was again the FA Cup hero for Wolves as his two-goal blast helped power them into the last 16 for the first time in five years.

Ndah had scored the winner in the dramatic 3-2 success over Newcastle in the third round triumph at Molineux.

And the giant striker caused all kinds of problems for the promotion-chasing Foxes who were swept aside by Dave Jones' side.

Then Ndah's forward partner Kenny Miller got in on the act with his own one-two in the second half to put the icing on the cake for rampant Wolves.

The home fans taunted City striker Paul Dickov over the score-line as they felt he had made a meal of earning Leicester their consolation goal - scored by himself from the penalty spot.

After an even first half, Wolves dominated the second 45 minutes. Joleon Lescott was outstanding at the back with veteran Paul Ince a driving force in midfield in what could be his last season in the game.

Wolves needed only five minutes to take the lead through a fine individual goal from Ndah. He picked the ball up on the left and then cut inside and ran powerfully at the Leicester defence.

Ndah was able to hold off the final challenge of Alan Rogers before placing a left-footed past the dive of Ian Walker into the corner of the net.

Ndah, only passed fit before the kick-off after suffering from a hamstring stain, then caused more discomfort down the left flank for the Foxes and his low centre just eluded Miller in the centre.

Leicester were forced into an early substitution when Billy McKinlay limped out of the action after 11 minutes to be replaced by Matthew Jones.

Micky Adams' side gradually regained their composure and Dickov squandered a decent opportunity to put them on level terms.

An inswinging corner by Rogers was flicked on by Leicester skipper Matt Elliott to Dickov but he sent his header over the bar. Rogers was then only inches wide with a curling free-kick.

Wolves 'keeper Matt Murray came quickly off his line to block an effort from Dickov after he had seized onto Muzzy Izzet's perfectly weighted chip before City drew level after 28 minutes.

Referee Mike Dean adjudged that Denis Irwin had pulled back Dickov in the penalty area following a quickly-taken free-kick by Izzet. Dickov stepped up himself to take the penalty and he gave sent Murray the wrong way for his 11th goal of the campaign.

The incident clearly incensed the Wolves fans who felt that Dickov had made a meal of the situation and he was booed everytime he touched the ball for the remainder of the game.

Back came Wolves and Ndah took the ball around Walker after good play by Cameron but he shot into the side netting from a narrow angle.

Then in the 44th minute Ndah struck again, reacting first to head home a curling right-wing free-kick from Irwin, to restore Wolves lead.

Wolves went for the kill at the start of the second period and Walker clung onto a fierce drive from Ince.

But after 51 minutes the Leicester defence was split open again as Miller increased the lead for the home side.

Shaun Newton picked out the run into the channel of Miller who calmly side-stepped Walker before sliding the ball into an empty net for his eighth goal of the season.

Ndah limped out of the action after 62 minutes to a standing ovation from the Wolves fans - and his replacement Adam Proudlock almost added a fourth goal.

He raced clear of the static Leicester defence and it needed a fine reflex save by Walker to deny Proudlock his moment of glory with Ince stabbing the rebound over the bar.

But Wolves were not to be denied and in the 71st minute Miller raced onto Newton's pass and scored at the second attempt after Walker had blocked his first drive.
