Partly thanks to a goal from Leicester City's new midfield dynamo Jordan James, the Foxes were able to grab a late victory at Norwich City's Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon. Everyone knew that the three points were mightily important to both sides prior to kick-off on the day.
As a matter of fact, the win proved absolutely vital for City's boss Marti Cifuentes. His opposite number with the Canaries, Liam Manning, was reportedly dismissed just over an hour after the East Midlanders won in Norfolk. Evidently the Catalonian was likely to have gone in the same manner if they lost that particular Championship fixture.
But, today, we are not dwelling on nor analysing the manager's position, team selection at Norwich, nor his performance at LCFC in general. No. On this occasion we are appraising the players, or consulting Leicester Mercury for their opinions on the City personnel. We do this to see what was made of the matchday squad; not to mention discovering whether or not our views align.
So here are Leicester's losers and winners, along with their Player of the Match, from the East of England. Who stood out for the right and wrong reasons? And which Fox was crowned King of King Power?

OK, first of all, Bobby De Cordova-Reid scored the highest mark of '9'. Therefore he was the standout Leicester player. The substitute netted a sublime half-volley to equalise. He's an underrated asset!
"Bobby De Cordova-Reid: Game-changer. In barely 20 minutes on the pitch, he scored a really important goal, set up a huge chance, and then played a part in the winner. You can’t ask for much more than that from an attacking sub. 9"LCFC Live
Although, certain Foxes were poor too. For example, Ricardo Pereira scored a dismal 4 in defence. Meanwhile Jordan Ayew was also given that very underwhelming score.
Match-winner Jordan James (a realistic 8) completed the comeback for the Filbert Way team. His impactful header was a real moment of partial glory and relief for LCFC.
