Leicester City capped off the week with an incredible win over Burnley, beating the Clarets 1-0 to maintain their excellent run of form under Claude Puel. Here’s what we learned from their resilient display at the King Power Stadium:

Claude Puel’s faith in Demarai Gray paying off

Demarai Gray scoring the winner for Leicester City against Burnley is something that was unthinkable when the Englishman was struggling to get playing time under Craig Shakespeare, but since Puel’s arrival, his has been a staggering transformation.

In the Frenchman’s first game itself, he made his faith in Gray pretty clear, and it even paid off as the winger scored in a 2-0 win over Everton. If Puel continues to play Gray the way he is at the moment, then it won’t be surprising if he becomes an indispensable part of the side.
