How we rated the Irons
CandH’s ratings man Niall McDonald is back on the Irons case with his latest marks
Masuaku was bang on the money from the moment he appeared
Randolph : Either the first was perfectly placed or he should have got to it. No chance with the others and a great one-on-on save late on 5
Byram: Low on confidence and with 40% of the crowd in his back I thought Byram was very good, not helped by others (see Snodgrass) 6
Fonte: Summed us up. All-positivity, forward-looking, focus and commitment after we got the second. Leicester played that way from the start 4
Reid (c): Injured very early on while making a last-ditch interception 4
Cresswell: Pushed well back by Mahrez in the first half. Subbed with 15 mins to go 5
Obiang: Must have wished Noble was alongside him when Kouyate was moved to centre-half! First time he’s looked overrun and left the field on a stretcher. He will be missed I fear 4
Kouyate: Barely touched the ball in midfield before dropping alongside Fonte, where he had a decent game 5
Antonio: Statisticians – when did Antonio last play an entire game wide-right? Spent too long in the middle getting the ball stuck under his feet 5
Lanzini: His Neymar-esque free kick got us a fingertip hold on the game. Tried his heart out before his touch finally deserted him in the very final stages 6
Ayew: If he’s a penalty area finisher, then we should try and get him in there a bit more often? One massive miss and jury still out 5
Carroll: Deft knockdown for Ayew. Denied by Schmeichel late on. Special mention for a tremendous flying foul on Benalouane 5
Subs: Snodgrass: A surprisingly positive replacement for Reid. Continually took the easy option and played Byram into dead ends 3
Fernandes: Game was wide open when he entered the fray with his usual energy 5
Masuaku: Was on the money straight away and kept the late momentum going 6
