Count how many children are contained inside a specific element

I want to count how many childs are contained inside the HomeTeam element.This number is dynamic. I use this ,but gives me how many times HomeTeam is shown.gives me 1

int cout = xmlDoc.Descendants("HomeTeam").Count();

my XML :

<HomeStats>
    <HomeTeam>
        <HomeTeamName>PAN</HomeTeamName>
        <IPERIOD>74</IPERIOD>
        <IIPERIOD>102</IIPERIOD>
        <IIIPERIOD>124</IIIPERIOD>
    </HomeTeam>
</HomeStats>

the answer in this example is:The HomeTeam element contains 4 (HomeTeamName,IPERIOD,IIPERIOD,IIIPERIOD).So I must get 4. Any suggestion?

You're close. You just need to add one more step; get the child elements:

int cout = xmlDoc.Element("HomeTeam").Elements().Count();
