Iheanacho, Ndidi, relieved as Leicester depart the drop zone
Posted : 24 April 2023
In Dean Smith's first home game in charge, Leicester City came from behind to defeat Wolves 2-1, which has increased their chances of surviving in the Premier League.
The winning goal was scored by Timothy Castagne 15 minutes before the end of the match, earning the Foxes three crucial points that have lifted them out of the relegation zone on goal difference.
Wolves took the lead after 13 minutes when Matheus Cunha capitalised on Youri Tielemens' mistake and scored from the edge of the box.
However, Leicester equalised before half-time when Kelechi Iheanacho converted a penalty after Jamie Vardy was brought down by Wolves' goalkeeper, Jose Sa.
After the break, both teams had their chances, but Leicester always looked more likely to score.
They eventually found the winning goal through some excellent play down the left, with Victor Kristiansen setting up Castagne for a smart finish.
Although Wolves came close to equalising when Ruben Neves' free-kick was saved by Leicester's goalkeeper, Daniel Iversen, the Foxes held on for a vital victory.
