CHAMPIONSHIP – LEICESTER CITY VS BIRMINGHAM CITY – 29/08/2025

IT WAS LEICESTER CITY WHO GOT THE PARTY STARTED WITH A SUPERB GOAL FROM ABDUL FATAWU AT 8 MINS. INTO THE MATCH YESTERDAY – ABDUL CELEBRATES WITH TEAM-MATES (BELOW)

AND THEY WENT ON TO MAKE 380 PASSES, WITH A 76% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 5 SHOTS WITH 2 ON TARGET, INCLUDING ANOTHER CRACKER FROM PEREIRA AT 88 MINS.  – PEREIRA CELEBRATES (BELOW)

(WHO HAD EARLIER BEEN GIVEN A YELLOW-CARD AFTER SOME ARGEY-BARGEY WITH KYOGO FURUHASHI, WHO WENT OFF SHORTLY AFTERWARDS. SOME THOUGHT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RED, BUT LUCKILY FOR PEREIRA THE REF THOUGHT BETTER.)  IT WAS A VERY FEISTY MATCH THROUGHOUT IN FACT, WITH FOULS-A-PLENTY ON BOTH SIDES, AND 3-YELLOW-CARDS-A-PIECE.

BIRMINGHAM MADE 453 PASSES, WITH AN 82% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 11 SHOTS WITH 1 ON TARGET, INCLUDING AN IMPRESSIVE SHOT FROM ETHAN LAIRD AFTER SOME COMPLICATED PLAY WHICH WAS SAVED BY THE FOXES GOALY JAKUB STOLARCSYK, BUT NOTHING ACTUALLY REACHED-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET IN THEIR MATCH AGAINST LEICESTER UNFORTUNATELY FOR THEM YESTERDAY.

LEICESTER WILL NOW MOVE UP TO 3RD IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WHILE THE BLUES DROP TO 7TH.
