Author - Craig H Leicester City 6 - 2 QPR More reaction coming here ~ eurosuperfootball.blogspot.com/p/fa-cup-202... youtu.be/nu8GIhBoWi4?... [image or embed] — European Super Football ( @superfootball.bsky.social ) 12 January 2025 at 10:07 Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, and Jamie Vardy also found the net for Ruud van Nistelrooy's side, who came into the match on the back of five consecutive Premier League defeats. Justin opened the scoring with a close-range finish, stretching to meet Buonanotte's curling free-kick. QPR hit back through Jonathan Varane, who rifled in a long-range strike, but Leicester quickly regained the lead when Mavididi calmly slotted home from Bilal El Khannouss' low cross. Moments later, El Khannouss turned provider again, surging into the box and delivering a pinpoint cross for ...

Leicester City 0 - 3 Wolves Vítor Pereira’s debut as a Premier League manager was pretty much perfect.  A two-time league champion with Porto, Pereira has finally been given his chance in England – and it couldn’t have started much more comfortably. Author - Jamie P Wolves found themselves 3-0 up by half-time, but that’s not to say Pereira has instantly turned them into a free-scoring machine. Instead, they simply capitalised on their opportunities when they arose. The opener came after Nelson Semedo lofted a speculative ball down the right channel. Somehow, it made its way to Gonçalo Guedes in the box. The Portuguese forward, making just his second league start of the season, hooked it past Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward with Wolves’ first shot under Pereira’s management. The second goal had a touch of fortune about it. Matt Doherty sent a hopeful diagonal ball towards Leicester’s right-back, James Justin, who allowed it to roll past him – unaware that Joao Gomes had sneaked ...

Manchester City v Leicester City preview Manchester City will look to strengthen their bid for a Champions League spot when they host relegation-bound Leicester City at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night. Author - Macca Pep Guardiola’s side secured their customary place in the FA Cup semi-finals with a weekend win over Bournemouth, while Leicester have had a fortnight to reflect on another dismal Premier League defeat. Despite a turbulent 2024-25 campaign, City have maintained their dominance in domestic cup competitions, reaching their seventh consecutive FA Cup semi-final. Meanwhile, Leicester, who stormed to the Championship title under Enzo Maresca last season , have struggled to adapt to the top flight. Alongside Ipswich Town and Southampton, they find themselves adrift at the bottom of the table. The Foxes have endured a miserable run of six straight league defeats without scoring, shipping 16 goals in the process. Their latest setback (a 3-0 home loss to Manchester United...

Brighton & Hove Albion 2 - 2 Leicester City Caleb Okoli was the hero for relegation-threatened Leicester City as his second-half header helped end the Foxes’ eight-match losing run and dented Brighton’s ambitions of European football next season. Author - Jamie P Stadium - Amex Stadium Starting in place of the injured Wout Faes, Okoli powered in a diving header from Bilal El Khannouss’ pinpoint free-kick, earning a valuable draw for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side. Earlier, Stephy Mavididi had brought Leicester level in the first half, ending the team’s long goal drought, after Joao Pedro had given Brighton a deserved lead from the penalty spot. Despite the battling draw, Leicester remain second from bottom in the Premier League, still 14 points adrift of safety with just six games to play. Brighton had taken the lead just after the half-hour mark when Simon Adingra’s effort struck the arm of Conor Coady, prompting a VAR review and a penalty, which Pedro calmly dispatched. Ading...

Everton 4 - 0 Leicester City Everton stormed into a two-goal lead inside the opening six minutes—one of the fastest starts in Premier League history—on their way to dismantling a hapless Leicester City at Goodison Park. Author - Sarah W  Stadium - Goodison Park What had been billed as a crucial relegation scrap quickly became a one-sided affair, as the Toffees’ electric first half fired them nine points clear of danger. However, Wolves’ 2-0 victory over Aston Villa ensured the Foxes tumbled into the bottom three. Abdoulaye Doucoure wasted no time in setting the tone, latching onto Jordan Pickford’s long ball and slotting home after just 10.18 seconds—the fastest goal in Everton’s history and the fourth quickest ever recorded in the Premier League. Only Shane Long, Philip Billing, and Ledley King have scored quicker in the competition. Leicester’s static defending invited further punishment, and Everton duly obliged. Moments later, Beto raced onto James Tarkowski’s through ball ...

Aston Villa 2 - 1 Leicester City  Leon Bailey struck a dramatic late winner as Aston Villa handed Leicester their fifth consecutive Premier League defeat. Author - JP The Jamaican forward timed his run perfectly to slot home Ian Maatsen’s low cross in the 78th minute, securing his first goal of the season. It seemed as though Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester might finally halt their losing streak when Stephy Mavididi equalised in the 64th minute. Mavididi capitalised on a rebound after Emiliano Martínez had produced a fine save to deny Jamie Vardy from close range. Unai Emery’s side had earlier taken the lead with a stunning strike from Ross Barkley , who curled a beauty from the edge of the box in the 58th minute – his third league goal of the campaign. At 2-1, Bailey nearly put the game to bed with a powerful effort that crashed off the underside of the crossbar. Ollie Watkins had a chance to convert the rebound but blazed his effort over. Villa did suffer a setback when cap...
