ENGLAND
With its four Belgians, Leicester still can’t do it
Leicester and Crystal Palace left back to back (0-0) during the 11th day of the English football championship on Saturday afternoon. Wout Faes and Timothy Castagne played the entire game while captain Youri Tielemans gave way to Dennis Praet late in the game (82nd). After a rather calm and balanced first period, Leicester raised their level of play after the break. The Foxes multiplied the opportunities, in particular with a shot on target from Castagne (58th). A few minutes later, Crystal Palace responded with a strike from Odsonne Edouard intercepted by Danny Ward (64th). Despite an intense final from Leicester, especially with 5 corners in the last 10 minutes, they had to settle for sharing.
In the standings, Leicester is still stuck in the red zone and is in 19th place with 5 points. The Eagles are 13th with 10 points.
Another defeat for Mangala and Nottingham in a match at the bottom of the table
For the moment, Nottingham Forrest does not seem to have the rating in the Premier League. On the tenth day, the club suffered another blow (1-0) in the bottom of the table match played on Saturday at Wolverhampton. Ruben Neves (56th) scored the winning goal at Molineux with a converted penalty. Orel Mangala was allowed to come on 20 minutes before the end of the match, but he failed to turn the tide. Brennan Johnson had a great chance to get a point in the 79th minute but the Welshman failed to convert his penalty.
The Wolves thus leave the relegation zone and go back to 17th place in the first division of football in England with 9 points. The Trees remain blocked with their 5 points and take back the red lantern from Leicester.
