After the crushing defeat at Manchester City (6-3) during the Boxing Day, in the ranks of Leicester, if Youri Tielemans took place on the bench (before going up to the 56th minute), Timothy Castagne started the game and will play the whole match.
At the end of a lively match, the team led by Brendan Rodgers got the better of Liverpool (1-0) this Tuesday on the occasion of the 20th day of the Premier League. Largely dominant in the first half, the Reds were disgusted by the opposing goalkeeper, Schmeichel, who made a superb save on a penalty from Salah, who then found the bar with his head. With a willingness to sting on counters, the Foxes finally managed to make the difference by Lookman (59th) after the break.
In the standings, Leicester took advantage of this success to move up to 9th place, while Liverpool remains 2nd, 6 points behind the leader, Manchester City.
On the sidelines of Crystal Palace’s 3-0 win over Norwich on Tuesday in the Premier League, Eagles coach Patrick Vieira gave an initial assessment of his debut as head of the English club. While his team currently occupies the 9th place in the ranking, the French technician feels good in this project.
“It’s the ideal project. I think that when you get an offer from the Premier League, it’s hard to refuse. For a young coach to start in a project is always interesting. There is a lot of work on building the team. It is always important to have a certain balance of experience to be able to compete in the Premier League. I am well surrounded by a sporting director and a president who are very close to me. I think I’m at the right club to be able to put my ideas in place,” said the Tricolor to RMC Sport.
After his failure at Nice, Vieira is living up to expectations at Palace.
