Comments:

Matěj Vydra scored his first goal in the Premier League since the Clarets' 3-0 win against AFC Bournemouth on 22 February 2020. They had now won two of their last 22 games in the Premier League against a team starting the day in the top three (lost 15).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Leicester City avoided losing three consecutive games in all competitions for the first time since February 2019. The Foxes had now conceded one goal in each of five of their last seven away games in the Premier League (none in the other two). This game was played two years to the day since manager Brendan Rodgers' first game in charge of City (a 2-1 defeat at Watford in the Premier League).
