The Leicester Boys are back



King Power Stadium should been dubbed as water world, after the defending Premiership champions celebrated their first win of the campaign with a dominant 2-1 final score over a hardened visiting entity the Swans became.

Once again the Foxes initial eleven proved its might and demonstrated their value of being last campaign champions  and their one of a kind football all afternoon long despite the torrential rain that reign all afternoon in the pitch.

As seeing how a Jamie Vardy opened the score thanks to a long volley courtesy of Danny Drinkwater and from midfield and he converted without any inhibitions and being escorted too closely by a Swan defender, he managed to beat the visitors keeper in the 32nd minute.

This win enables the City chaos to start their ascent to the top of the EPL table and seeking to defend their title successfully in this campaign in spite of the heated competition these will get from the so-called giants of this league.

Marching on with a surprising loss at the beginning of this championship by Hull City at home and an away draw against at Arsenal at Emirates and of course today's win, the Lancashire Blues are back and running to find their rightful place in the top.

Still today’s match did not prove to be the winner of this campaign with a lot of ground to cover and this in its starting stages and with a lot of football to be played until we can decide to call it quits and crown a winner.

In the case of Leicester City Boss Claudio Rainieri his strategy now is not to pressure his chaps and take it easy and one match at a time in order to persevere in front the likes of renovated squads of the likes of Liverpool, Man City, Man United and Chelsea to mention a few.

Very well, to survive in what seems a much-contested campaign in the works once gain but you have to recall in how Premiership works.

As the first half ended with a dominant Leicester City leading the Swans, the second half-started with a bang and in the 52nd a rebound well taken advantage by Wes Morgan to push the ball for what proved to be the game winner and go ahead goal.

The 4-4-2formation of the Emperor Rainieri proved to be the winner as well using his favorite formation to send his top two strikers in Jamie Vardy and Shinji Okazaki to make their usual damages and destabilized the opposing defenses.

With the tale of the tape showing a dominant Leicester City outperforming their guests with a 51.8 possession and out shooting on target 2-1 were key for the City first win of the campaign, still the monarchs have some flaws to fix.

Being one of them its defense and its looseness in the end that almost could cost them the game with a draw or even suffer an embarrassing loss at home as well the miss penal by Ryad Mahrez, still the chap he’s only human.

In the rest, the Leicester City chaps are poised to make a run in the upcoming matches seen as a keen test to see how their last campaign miracle run was just a touch of luck or this club has it with them in what they call mettle.

With upcoming matches and being their next one against a difficult and tough Liverpool Reds squad to play at Anfield  and seeing their first test with one of those so called giants of Premiership and mano a mano between Claudio Rainieri and Jürgen Klopp.

At the end, Leicester City is back and running and despite their ninth place position and four points, these can make their move with style and once again surprise everyone in the confines of the English Premier League.
