Leeds 1-1 Leicester: 3 Noticeable factors you may have missed

Marcelo Bielsa’s instructions were to attack and maintain a high press. Therefore, a lot of the time, it looked unlikely that the Foxes would be able to contain them with their defensive shortcomings reemerging every week. Interestingly Leicester also used the fundamental zonal marking to defend corners in this match, contrasting to their traditional style of a hybrid man to man incorporated with zonal.

Sloppy on one, brilliant on the other – Vardy kept hovering in front of Leeds’ defensive line, hoping to catch them off guard. Though, support from his immediate right didn’t help much as Lookman didn’t have a good game. If his goal would’ve stood, we would be saying that he compensated for his shortcomings, but it was an uninspiring performance from the loaned player. Obviously, with his name on the scoresheet, Barnes sparkled in this game.

In the final moments of the game, we got to witness Rodgers get cautious: he chose to share points rather than push for one and get done by on a counterattack. With limited minutes remaining, he trusted Amartey to protect the lead. The Foxes switching to a back three for better compliance.
