We Win Every Week!

Bournemouth 0 - 1 Leicester City

It is difficult to find enough superlatives to describe the run that Leicester City are on. Nine consecutive league wins - a club record. Five consecutive away league wins - another club record. Kevin Phillips, who scored the winner today, is now the oldest goalscorer in the club's history. Records are tumbling in Leicester's relentless pursuit of Premier League status and it is becoming harder every week to see how anyone is going to stop them. The Foxes are ten points clear of their nearest challengers QPR and 13 points clear of Burnley in third place. 

Leicester were good value for their win with 23 shots at goal to Bournemouth's 12. Playing conditions were difficult, with the pitch needing to be rolled before kick off and an early pitch inspection at 8:30 this morning. Understandably, City were not at their fluent best and it had the feel of a game in which one goal would decide the outcome. That goal was scored by Kevin Phillips in controversial circumstances. In the 81st minute, Knockaert crossed to the corner of the six yard box to the head of Phillips. The veteran striker nodded the ball back towards the centre of the goal and, after some deliberation from the linesman and the referee as to whether the ball had crossed the line, the goal was awarded. The Foxes march onwards and upwards.
