Leicester: Get excited for 2021/22 by watching Youri Tielemans’ FA Cup winner

Get excited for Leicester City’s 2021/22 campaign by watching Youri Tielemans’ FA Cup winning goal, as Foxes of Leicester examines a masterful moment.

“Youri – Youri Tielemans”, what a player. What a man. A Leicester City Football Club legend already; and that isn’t just due to his cup final goal but the way he’s dragging the squad to Champions League quality with class and determination. Belgium’s deep lying playmaker became a globally recognised as well as respected name in the sport on May 15.

Tielemans is now a star, and not just a Foxes star, one wanted by hugely significant sides as Liverpool. Can Brendan Rodgers hang on to his most prominent midfielder with his former team, the Reds, breathing down LCFC’s neck. Well, yes actually, it appears as though the Northern Irishman will have the prized asset on Filbert Way for 2021/22: trusted journalists have priced the Merseysiders out of a move.

And with this expectation around the ex-Monaco man’s immediate future hopefully settled, let’s get our collective juices flowing in anticipation of another stupendous Leicester campaign by viewing that wonder-goal once again.

With the Foxes and Premier League rivals Chelsea looking fairly well matched and at the time deadlocked, step up Tielemans to take the game by the scruff of the neck. As you can see above, following the rocket of a finish hitting the back of the net, onetime LCFC striker, supporter of the east Midlands outfit and BBC Sport presenter Gary Lineker certainly went wild.

And here you have it, the goal, from multiple angles. “Pick that out” indeed! A stunner! Ayoze Perez definitely deserves credit for his partial interception or intervention in that rather weak Chelsea attack, too.

By the way, if the Blues can win the CL with that team, LCFC should be in the competition on merit but there you go.
