Yesterday we went into the Sheffield United match after we just got stuffed by 19th place Bournemouth, and they came off a back to back win against Wolves and Chelsea who sat higher than Sheffield, and a lot of fans where not looking forward to the match (if we played as bad as we did against Bournemouth…!), and we all thought that if we did not win the match, our season was just about done…

As you all know, it is still on! And it is going to go down to the final matches…

Match summary

Ayoze Perez and Demarai Gray scored as Leicester City strengthened their place in the top four by beating Sheffield United 2-0.

Perez fired the Foxes ahead on 29 minutes after a pass by 19-year-old left-back Luke Thomas, who impressed on his senior debut.

Jamie Vardy hit a post and Harvey Barnes twice went close to a second for Leicester after half-time.

Substitute Gray doubled their lead in the 79th minute when he shot low into the far corner after being set up by Vardy.

Sheffield United’s best chance to respond came when John Egan’s deflected header was turned away by Kasper Schmeichel.

The win keeps Leicester fourth on 62 points, above Manchester United on goal difference following their win at Crystal Palace later in the evening.

Sheff Utd stay eighth on 54.

Phil did his regular after the match show, and this time they had all positives to talk about!

They talked about Thomas, the youngster who came in and not only made his Leicester Debut, but he got an assist, played his socks off and got himself a very much deserved Man of the Match, voted by the fans! We also talked about Vards, the assist King, who didn’t score but created many chances and one of them lead to Dimi Gray’s goal! They ended the show talking about our next game, Spurs!
What a performance from this lads this week! Watch Phil’s show down below here!
