The red lantern rebels. As part of the 9th day of the Premier League, Leicester, last in the standings at kick-off, made short work of Nottingham Forest (4-0), 19th before their new defeat in this first Midlands derby for 23 years this Monday night. In this duel of badly classified across the Channel, Maddison, the strong man of Brendan Rodgers, distinguished himself brilliantly before leaving under the ovation of his public in the 85th minute. It was he who launched hostilities with a deflected strike, with success, by McKenna (25th), before offering himself a double from a nice free kick (35th). A blow for the promoted to XXL spending, who had found the post through Awoniyi (15th). Especially since Barnes had made the break of a little gem at the entrance to the surface of Forest (27th).

Leicester then generally managed against a worrying and almost harmless formation from Nottingham, except for a badly negotiated blow by Awoniyi stopped by Ward (52nd), also impeccable in front of Johnson (79th). Entering the game in place of a still silent Vardy this season and having missed the boat twice at the King Power Stadium (14th, 15th), Daka, served by Maddison, cracked a brilliant Madjer to close the shows (73rd). Thanks to this first success of the season, the Foxes stop the bleeding (6 defeats in a row) and leave the last place to Forest, who, after this 5th defeat in a row, will quickly have to offer something else on pain of returning quickly. in the Championship.
