The Claude Puel
effect is showing off in King Power Stadium as the Frenchman is making his mark
and delivering in Leicester City, after making all sorts of improvements in
this club game and style.
Despite the troubling
campaign were the club top brass had to rescind of the services of Craig Shakespeare,
Puel came to the rescue and in little amounts of time the man has return the
spark to this Leicestershire club.
As the dynamic duo
that brought this club glories, in Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez were the culprit today
in putting a dent in a startled Mauricio Pochettino and his Tottenham bunch
ambitions for the championship.
With their usual game
using all sorts of spectacular and one of kind movements, these were enough to
seal the deal and play the role of spoilers to a promising Spurs squad coming
to town looking forward to end their losing streak.
Wrong they were to underestimate
the Foxes as these did not showed off any struggles in their game today and
contrarily their initial eleven played as we were in that Cinderella campaign
were they won the league shield.
Moreover, the loss
made the Spurs Boss Mauricio Pochettino into a brief state of submission.
With back to back
losses it looks like the Argentinian is kinda throwing the towel, still the
campaign is far from over and maybe a recovery or revival in these parts of
North London can happen for this dynamic and promising squad.
Still the afternoon
belonged to the local Foxes and their sold out crowd in attendance after seeing
how their beloved Boys seal this affair in the first half and despite the awakening
of the visiting Spurs and its firepower with a lone goal from Harry Kane.
Their push and perseverance
to seal this one out today, was enough evidence that this club is seeing an all-around
revival in its ranks and displaying a one of a kind game that brought this club
its glories two campaigns ago.
So far in five matches
the City crew had net three wins, one loss and a draw and netting ten points
out of fifteen in play, not bad for a club that loss to the likes of a scoring
frenzy Man City held to just a couple of goals by the Leicester Boys.
As the afternoon belonged,
clearly to Jamie Vardy who in the 13 minute with a still pass from Marc
Albrighton- Vardy delivered with a spectacular flair and with an elevated ball that little could Hugo Lloris do to stop the shoot.
Sending the whole of
King Power into frenzy and disbelief of what their Boys in the field were doing
and making a positive run to deliver three points of gold as well uplift this
club position in the table to ninth place with seventeen points.
For manager Claude Puel
putting in play a conservative 4-4-1-1 formation with a couple of strikes from Jamie Vardy accompanied in the back by Shinji Okazaki , the strategy idealized
by the newly installed manager, worked wonders.
At the end, the way
Jamie Vardy is playing lately, restoring his scoring drive that with today goal,
he made it into the 100th league goal, and becoming a part of this exclusive club
and for the likes of Riyad Mahrez scoring in the 46.
Not only these two
had to do with today’s win but the whole club stepping up for the occasion and
seeing how Kasper Schmeichel making one of his top performances along with his
defense stepping up to the occasion and stopping cold a Spurs rally.
In Pochettino remarks
of his Spurs sloppy play and lack of ambition, that contributed to today's loss.
On the other side of
the field with the way Leicester City is playing and in five games these have
display a notorious improvement, the odds of a notable finish in the end depend
if this club drive and ambition has an all around consistency.
