Majestic Mahrez

There were a number of impressive individual performances against the Seagulls, but it was Riyad Mahrez who ran the show, who ran a riot and ran Brighton over. The Algerian set up both the goals for Leicester City, though that wasn’t the only contribution of note – and that’s saying something.

The Foxes’ magic man lit the East Midlands up as he did back in the historic 2015/16 season, making the defence mosh to his tunes and bow down to his unique set of skills. Riyad Mahrez, take a bow.
