Lester forgot what a victory was
22.10.2017
And the Derby derby against West Bromwich did not bring joy to Leicester fans. The `Foxes` were looking for a first-round win in the second round, but only to 1: 1 thanks to a late equalizing goal of Riyad Marse. The guests scored Nasser Shadley and the draw left both teams with no success in six consecutive games. The `Thrushes`, however, are in the middle of the table, while Leicester is in the relegation zone. The first half was frankly boring. None of the rivals dared to take risks and act more offensive. However, this changed after the break when the hosts tried to break off their negative series and created several interesting situations. In the 51st minute, Mark O`Brienton scored on the left flank and handed the ball to Marez`s foot, which shot over the door. West Bromwich patiently waited for his chance, and he came in the 63rd minute. Then Shadley surprised Kasper Schmeichel from a foul and opened the score. The fox keeper made a fatal step in the wrong direction and failed to stop Shadley`s blow. Leicester`s pressure came on, and Craig Shakespeare`s shifts helped the team to avoid defeat. In the 80th minute, Ben Chilwell centered on Islam Slimani, he headed to Marse, and this time the Algerian was uncompromising - 1: 1. Equality of King Power Stady continued the tradition that both teams could not defeat their own pitch in the Premier League.
In the next round, Lewis visits Swansea and West Bromwich is coming to Southampton.
