FLW shares three things that we learnt from Leicester’s win over Cardiff.
1- Leicester City’s new midfielder, Cesare Casadei, proved to be a real asset, scoring the match-winning goal and impressing with his passing accuracy.
2- Wanya Marcal-Madivadua, a young academy graduate, showcased his potential with an impressive performance and his first goal for the team.
3- Despite their perfect record, Leicester City will face challenges and defeat in the future, as they have relied on late goals and might not always have the same opportunities.
4- A new chapter in Leicester’s history is starting to be written. Their latest 2-1 triumph at the King Power Stadium earned Enzo Maresca his fourth successive win in his new role.
The Foxes opened the scoring through 20-year-old academy graduate Wanya Marcal-Madivadua. The young starlet rocketed the ball through a crowded penalty area and into the back of the net following a corner that was not dealt with.
Cardiff promptly found a leveler, doing so in spectacular fashion. Aaron Ramsey picked the ball up in the deep and curled spectacularly beyond Mads Hermansen for his first goal since re-joining the Bluebirds.
Second-half substitute Cesare Casadei pounced in the second minute of injury time. Jamie Vardy wriggled through the Bluebirds’ backline and tumbled to the floor; Casadei immediately took over and converted from close range.
Erol Bulut’s side failed to find an equaliser in injury time, and were reduced to ten men after Mahlon Romeo was cautioned twice in quick succession before the contest’s close.
Casadei looks the real deal
