Leicester City 1-0 Leeds United: Premier League – live!
LIVE – Updated at 14:38
Minute-by-minute report: Leeds remain in relegation bother after Harvey Barnes scored against the run of play, Kasper Schmeichel making a series of fine last-ditch saves. Scott Murray was watching.
Jesse Marsch talks to BT. “I have a fresh perspective. I look at the faces of our team and they look disappointed because they know they played well. They know they deserved a result. But after four days, to have changed a lot of the tactics, and have played in all phases of the game with clarity, to be stable at the back and control the game, I’m really proud and pleased of our group in how far we’ve come. There are so many little things I see we need to clarify. I don’t like screaming from the bench so much but I was trying to help the guys understand what we are trying to achieve tactically. I understand there is stress because points are important but we have to stay clear to our process. We had the lion’s share of chances and shots. With a little bit more sharpness we can find goals in there, and we will. We didn’t get what we deserved but that’s sport.”
Leicester’s win catapults them into the top half of the Premier League. Leeds, having played more games than everyone beneath them, remain in a world of trouble. Jesse Marsch gathers his players together and delivers a rousing speech, no doubt having been pleased with his team’s overall performance and improved defensive display, if not their finishing skills or the result. Small acorns, all that.
Leeds did enough on balance to earn a point, but Kasper Schmeichel wasn’t in the mood to be beaten, Harvey Barnes scored a fine goal, and it’s a third successive win for Leicester.
