Leicester City 4-1 Randers: Foxes player ratings as high as 9
By Will Kennedy
Leicester City started their Europa Conference League campaign in the best possible way last night as they beat Randers 4-1 in the first leg of the knock-out fixture. It was a refreshing performance, with the Foxes picking up win for the first time in over a month – the 4-1 FA Cup win over Watford in January.
Refreshingly, Brendan Rodgers played a strong starting XI against their Danish opposition, a sign that he is taking this competition seriously. In the first half, Leicester looked dangerous, yet missed the final clinical shot – though this could be down to the superb performance from Randers’ ‘keeper Patrik Carlgren. After finally getting their goal, City couldn’t capitalise, instead conceding a shock equaliser.
The second half was a different story, with Randers’ lack of match fitness exposed, Leicester took full control, putting 3 more goals on the opponents. The game fizzed out after that, but it was exactly the display that Leicester needed in their efforts to regain any form ahead of a tough fixture at Wolves on Sunday.
