Claude Puel witnessed his Leicester side collapse in the defeat to Watford despite taking the lead through a Riyad Mahrez header.

Udinese loanee Molla Wague cancelled out Mahrez’s opener not soon after and Watford’s Abdoulaye Doucoure helped manager Marco Silva onto his first win in seven after forcing Kasper Schmeichel into an own goal.

The loss leaves the Foxes with four points from their last five but who, if any Leicester man, impressed at Vicarage Road?

Here are the ratings

Goalkeeper

Kasper Schmeichel 5/10

At fault for Juan Mata’s free-kick last time out in the 2-2 draw against Manchester United, the Denmark international was again left disappointed with the way he dealt with Dacoure’s tight-angled shot.

The strike sneaked in off him at his near post despite the acute angle.

Defenders

Ben Chilwell 6/10

While he posed a threat going forward and caused his opposite number problems, he must take collective blame for the way the two goals were conceded.

Harry Maguire 6/10

The normally dependable Maguire experienced an off-day. Recieved a booking early on which resulted in him playing a cautious game and really needs to alongside his unit on defending set-pieces.

Wes Morgan 6/10

Again, he must be held accountable for the part he played in the defending of the goals and should have levelled the scores late on.

He found himself in unfamiliar territory when a corner landed at his feet in the opposing area, but his composure let him down as he fired straight at the diving Heurelho Gomes.

Aleksandar Dragovic: 5/10

In what was his Premier League debut, he was employed in a uncustomary right-back role as he replaced the injured Danny Simpson.

The 26-year-old found proceedings tough and struggled to get to keep up to pace with the quick turnovers of play.
