Leicester City

James Maddison's double helped Leicester City on their way to securing their first Premier League win of the season, as the Foxes thrashed Nottingham ...

Maddison's low cross towards the near post from the right-edge of the box is beautifully flicked into the net by Daka with a fantastic backheel! Harvey Barnes does his trademark cut inside from just outside the box on the left-hand side, and he beautifully bends a fantastic strike into the bottom far corner! They manage to cut open the Leicester back-line, and Awoniyi is through on goal after a beautiful through pass by Gibbs-White to feed him in, but the Nigerian's shot cannons back off the bottom of the post! Maddison was deployed on the right flank, but Leicester's fluidity in their system also saw him come central on occasion and lurk at the edge of the box. Two goals and an assist in this match takes his tally for direct goal contributions to 27 from the beginning of last season, with the only other English player ahead of him being Harry Kane (34). Forest’s night then went from bad to worse just after the half-hour mark, as Maddison had his second of the match.

The Foxes get their first win and rise off the floor of the table.

He ran like a man possessed and you just knew he was going to get on the scoresheet. He was unplayable today, pulling the strings, creating havoc in the opposing half, and even getting back to contribute to the defensive effort. The truth is that our intensity was off the charts, our leaders stepped up, and we got a glorious result is all the really matters. The fact that the bar to be cleared was so low shouldn’t take any of the shine off of it. Forest made an absolute hash of clearing the ball out of their area, with Jesse Lingard gifting the ball to Madders on the edge of the area. Am I going to let the fact that we made numerous defensive errors and were saved by some good goalkeeping and a really poor Forest attack detract from the joy this win brings me? This is all to say, the second half wasn’t going to reach quite the same heights as the first. The commentators noted that a club might have a tendency to over-elaborate things and be too careful. The Foxes had the opportunity to take the lead on just 5’. Madders lined it up and belted a beauty off the inside of the post that Dean Henderson never would have saved even had he guessed correctly. A turnover in midfield saw the ball fall to Morgan Gibbs-White. The former Arsenal man threaded a perfect ball through to Taiwo Awoniyi, who left Faes in his wake.

Brendan Rodgers called it "a shame I think for the country and for the boy himself" that James Maddison hasn't really been part of England's roster.

The home victory in the East Midlands derby lifted some of the pressure off Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers and piled more on Forest's Steve Cooper, ...

It just felt right and it was a great night for the club," he told Sky Sports. I said beforehand that it was a season-changing game if we could get a result here and push on." But I thought we were excellent tonight with our intensity in the game and our pressing.

Leicester City are reportedly weighing up the possibility of moving for Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek during the January transfer.

Donny van de Beek's time at Manchester United since joining from Ajax in 2020 has been underwhelming, to say the least.

Whether or not Manchester United will entertain offers for van de Beek in January remains to be seen, however, one thing is for sure, failure to increase his game-time would see ten Hag run the risk of his number 34 becoming unsettled. “But, right now, it does seem like it’s going to be a tough, long season ahead for van de Beek if the opportunities aren’t going to be given to him by ten Hag.” “He finds himself sort of surplus to requirements at Manchester United right now and it’s going to be interesting to see what happens with van de Beek in January,” O’Rourke said.

Two goals from an outstanding James Maddison and top-class finishes from Harvey Barnes and Patson Daka saw a revitalised City dust off their recent poor form.

From the attack to the defence, each player did their job in securing three points and a first league clean sheet since April (a 0-0 draw against Aston Villa). Having recently endured 5-2 and 6-2 spankings by Brighton and Spurs, Brendan Rodgers was delighted with the way his side played. After an atrocious start to Leicester City’s season, the Foxes finally enjoyed their first league win since May as they thrashed local rivals Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Monday.

The latest Leicester City news as Mark Hughes looks ahead to Bradford City's meeting with his Bradford side.

“That’s something we want to address. “Winning games is a good habit to have and it doesn’t matter what competition. “The players are fully tuned in to the feeling of myself and the club in terms of what we want to do in this competition.” [Leicester City](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/all-about/leicester-city-fc), Hughes is not hiding his ambitions after taking his place in the dugout last February. “I will mix it up. He also won the League Cup as a manager with Blackburn Rovers. It would also condemn the young Foxes to an early exit after losing their opener to Burton Albion. While promotion is the ultimate goal for this season, cup glory is also on Hughes' mind. Financially, the competition is good for us and we want to keep on and get to the latter stages. “There’s no reason why we wouldn’t want to compete in it. “We want to progress. We want to do well and I’ll pick a team that I expect to be competitive and win the game.
