Foxes Never Quit is alive again

The lack of fight and character from the foxes in the last two Premier League seasons was nothing short of embarrassing. So much so that uttering the three word club motto had become a bit of a joke. With these wins, the team has arguably showed the supporters more character and fight than they had in the last two seasons. Having dominated the first half and making some decent chances to move into a commanding lead to add to Marcal’s goal, the game took a turn with Aaron Ramsey’s stunning strike pulling the game level.

The second half subsequently became a scrappier affair with the patient Leicester approach struggling to carve out chances. But the team kept going right until the end and bagged their third league win in a row with winning goals coming in the final third of the match, something they only managed once in the entire 2022/2023 season.

This is a different league with many different players, but this is the old LCFC spirit back in full flow and it was a pleasure to watch this team come back against the odds again. Have we got our Leicester back? It certainly feels like it.
