Leicester City played with pride and sheer will to nick a 1-0 win at Cardiff City in Wales in an emotional afternoon for the Foxes. On the day where football felt irrelevant, both of sets of players, fans and the coaching staff got together to pay their tribute to the five lives lost in a tragic helicopter crash outside the King Power Stadium, which also included the death Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
However, the Foxes looked determined to get a positive result and Demarai Gray ensured with a low drive early in the second half to score the only goal of the game. The players were emotional after the final whistle and manager Claude Puel should be proud they got the three points amidst all this.
This win puts them 10th in the table, while Cardiff City touch relegation again.
He was literally shaking before the game during the remembrance period. However, he was solid throughout the game.
The Portuguese looked secure while defending and made some good runs forward.
Dealt with pretty much everything that Cardiff threw at him. An unerring display from the skipper.
Started the game well but had to be subbed off in the 27th minute due to an injury. Very unfortunate.
Linked up with Gray for the first goal and looked a threat going forward. Another impressive display from the English left-back.
Battled hard in the midfield and got a few exchanges in his favour. Kept trying in both halves.
He was battling for supremacy in the central areas of the pitch. Could have done more with the ball.
Scored the winner and looked a lively presence on the left-hand side.
Showed some nice touches in between but went missing most of the time. One of his few bad outings of this season.
He was always looking to get the ball into the box and worked hard all game. The final product was lacking at times.
Worked hard for the team but couldn’t find himself a goal to match that performance.
Came on for the injured Maguire and slotted in well alongside Morgan. Should have scored to double the lead.
Came on to add defensive sturdiness late on.
Had very less time to impact the game.
