Riyad Mahrez shines again

There have been numerous doubts concerning Riyad Mahrez’s professionalism in the build-up to the game against West Brom, but the Algerian seemed unfazed, putting in a display that everyone, including Craig Shakespeare, would have been proud of.

Mahrez was arguably Leicester’s best player on the pitch when they needed him, and for now, that’s all that matters. Shall there be no move for the 26-year old, the Foxes faithful can rest assured about his dedication. This is a man who wants to play.
