Ruud van Nistelrooy on the Wrong Side of History as Leicester City Help Everton Set a New Club Record.
Leicester City Make History... But Not in Their Own Favor.
Leicester City traveled to Merseyside for a crucial Premier League clash against Everton, battling to escape the relegation zone.
Sitting 17th and six points behind the Toffees, the Foxes aimed to build on their 2-1 victory over Spurs.
However, Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side struggled in the first half despite knowing a win would boost their survival hopes.
Everton Set Club Record Against Leicester
Van Nistelrooy made one change, bringing back goalkeeper Mads Hermansen for Jakub Stolarczyk. Despite the match’s significance, Leicester had a nightmare start.
Abdoulaye Doucoure scored just 10 seconds in, marking the fourth-fastest goal in Premier League history and the quickest in Everton’s history.
Ruud Awakening
Leicester’s defensive weaknesses were evident early against David Moyes’ Everton.
The Toffees were ruthless in attack, leading 3-0 thanks to a Beto brace.
After only two months in charge, Van Nistelrooy is already under significant pressure and a prime candidate for dismissal.
With just two league wins since replacing Steve Cooper and another defeat looming, he faces an uphill battle.
Tough fixtures against Manchester United (FA Cup) and Arsenal add to his growing concerns.
