Fulham 0-2 Leicester City: Foxes player ratings
By James Bishop
Ricardo Pereira- 7
No one is getting less than a 7 today.
Ricardo is showing us signs that he is very nearly at full fitness. Tricky dribbles, crunching tackles, and great runs were all on show tonight as he completed his first full 90 minutes in 10 months. After all the talk about Ricardo struggling to find a way back in, it could be Timothy Castagne that might lose out.
Jonny Evans- 7
A typical Evans performance at Craven Cottage. Calm in possession and calm out of it, as he mopped whatever Fulham could throw at him.
Caglar Soyuncu- 7
I was very calm watching the match just knowing that the Evans-Soyuncu partnership was back. The big Turk was assured at the back and was composed on the ball and looked threatening from set pieces. Very solid.
James Justin- 8
The inform full-back had a sloppy first 10 minutes but after that he defended well and started advancing up the pitch and contributing to attacks. The England Under 21 international then took his goal like a veteran striker and probably surprised a few that he was so far up.
Hamza Choudhury- 8
Rodgers surprised many with his selection as the youngster got a rare start but he didn’t disappoint. He got about the pitch very well and as ever was tenacious when faced up to an opponent. He was substituted at the hour mark due to lack of minutes recently but it was solid performance that laid the foundations for the victory and one that showed Leicester City fans that he still has a big role to play at the club.
Youri Tielemans- 8
When did Youri Tielemans morph into the Belgian Roy Keane! The midfielder has added steel to his silky play, and it is quickly making him one of the most complete midfielders in the division. Tonight, he was controlling everything the Foxes were doing and then in the second half when Fulham upped the ante he was strong in every challenge and won most of his battles. What a player.
