In front of 60,000 spectators at the sold-out London Stadium The sixth and fifth early seasons of the previous Premier League season were mostly neutral to each other. No team created mandatory goal area shots. But the first exclamation point was set by the home side: after Leicester striker Jamie Wardy lost the ball, things went quickly, with Pablo Furnells successfully completing the counter-attack after Benrahma’s pass. But the goal had no effect, initially it was a clash with small chances. Shortly before the break there was a flurry again: Leicester professional Perez was hit badly in the ankle and referee Michael Oliver showed a red card after reading the video footage.
In the second round, the majority paid early. The former Freiburg professional scientist reluctantly submitted with the pass after the defeat to Copper Caspar Schmeichel for Antonio. It served to Benrahma, who scored the ball 2-0. Leicester did not give up on the episode and were rewarded with a short riot with the goal of Tylemans. However, Antonio regained the old break and made sure to advance to first place with his second goal in the evening shortly after.
