Foxes turn it around in second half

Back we came, Stolarczyk with another crucial intervention to prevent Son’s cross from going in as he tipped it onto the crossbar before we went ahead in the 33rd minute, Richarlison getting in between Wout Faes and Justin to head Porro’s sumptuous cross home at the back post. We almost conceded straight away but Justin’s shot from 18 yards out flicked off Davies’ leg and drifted just wide while we were in control for the remainder of the half, looking bright in possession even if we didn’t create any further chances before the break.

Less than a minute into the second period though, we were pegged back. Bobby De Cordova-Reid picked the ball up out on the left flank and delivered a low teasing cross which Kinsky couldn’t reach and Vardy was there to tuck home from close range. It got worse four minutes later when De Cordova-Reid passed infield to El Khannouss and he advanced 10 yards before firing a low curling drive out of Kinsky’s reach and into the bottom corner of the net.

Our new goalkeeper almost provided an assist in the 58th minute when his long pass forward set Dejan Kulusevski through on goal but once again Stolarczyk made a good save to deny us. We then hit the woodwork again, Porro’s 25-yard free-kick glancing off Vardy’s head and bouncing away off the crossbar before the right-back weaved his way through the Leicester defence only to crash a shot into the side-netting from a tight angle.

It was pretty much one-way traffic as we tried to find the equaliser and Porro had yet another shot which was saved by Stolarczyk after a slight deflection. The final minutes saw a flurry of crosses and corners come into the Leicester box but nothing would fall our way and the final whistle blew on another tough afternoon.
