As close to a role reversal as we're likely going to see that. It's usually us who dominate only to be suckered by their first attack or a mistake and today it was us, we didn't even half the ball in their box for 15 minutes then scored with our first attack. Mahrez has been simply brilliant and turned the game for us almost single handedly. I expected them to tire second half but I think that third will see them give up entirely. there's more if we want it but I suspect we will take what we have and see it out.
Not liking how casual and sloppy our defence has been though. Their goal summed it up, walker fucking back heeling it straight to them instead of just knocking it off the defender for a throw in, Dias standing off needlessly when there was nobody else to worry about, he should have closed down redmond and stopped the shot and then laporte made it the trio of errors by dragging him back for the penalty. Zinchenko must have felt left out and so joined in later by giving the ball straight to them for that djenepo chance. Only 3 clean sheets in our last 10 games now. Needs tightening back up.
