Leicester City

After QPR victory, it’s clear that Leicester City’s 56-touch ace who created a key chance should start every match – opinion.

Leicester City put an end to their winless streak in emphatic fashion, thrashing Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.

Leicester City entered the match at Loftus Road without a win in their last five games, with some fans fearing an FA Cup upset.

 

QPR, currently 13th in the Championship, had been improving in form and were capable of exploiting Leicester’s vulnerable defense.

 

The away team took the lead after just eight minutes, but a sloppy pass from Harry Winks allowed QPR to equalize ten minutes later.

 

Leicester kept creating chances and managed to go 3-1 up, but Winks misjudged another pass, which allowed QPR to score a second goal just before halftime.

In the second half, however, Leicester dominated, securing a comfortable 6-2 victory.

 

James Justin scored a brace, and there were standout performances from Facundo Buonanotte and Bilal El Khannouss, contributing significantly to Leicester’s success.

 

Van Nistelrooy made three changes to the team that lost to Aston Villa, bringing in Victor Kristiansen for Luke Thomas at left-back, Wout Faes at center-back, and giving Buonanotte a rare start on the right wing.

 

The Argentine impressed, assisting Justin’s opener and scoring Leicester’s third goal.

 

Buonanotte played the full 90 minutes and earned an impressive 8.3 rating from Sofascore for his performance.

 

Despite his excellent showing, new Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has been reluctant to start Buonanotte regularly.

 

The 20-year-old’s only start in the last five league matches was against Manchester City during Jordan Ayew’s suspension.

 

Although Ayew and Stephy Mavididi have performed decently in his absence, it’s clear Buonanotte is one of Leicester’s most dangerous attackers.

Van Nistelrooy should look to include him in the starting lineup more often, possibly replacing Ayew on the right wing to fully capitalize on Buonanotte’stalent.
