With Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes and James Maddison all starting, Leicester City fans will have been optimistic. That optimism was wiped away in three minutes.

Curtis Jones scored two goals in a short space of time, both assisted by Mo Salah.

The result means it’s just one win in 14 games for Leicester City. Despite that, Johnny Evans believed there wasn’t a lack of effort from the home team.
