Match Events

  • 0' It’s Showtime! The match between Leicester City FC and Burnley FC is underway.
  • 5' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 8' The referee calls foul for Jay Rodriguez. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 10' Burnley FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Chris Wood on 10.
  • 15' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 20' A stunning finish from Harvey Barnes — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 25' Nampalys Mendy has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a Yellow card on 25.
  • 30' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 35' With 0 assists to his name this season, Wilfred Ndidi is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Burnley FC.
  • 40' Robbie Brady makes way for Erik Pieters at the 40 minute mark. A tactical switch from Burnley FC.
  • 45' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dennis Praet suffering a number of foals already.
  • 50' Erik Pieters puts Burnley FC on the lead.
  • 55' Youri Tielemans, a Belgium , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 60' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Leicester City FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 61' The England James Justin breaks the deadlock on 61 minutes. 2-2!
  • 62' Leicester City FC make a change. Ayoze Perez trudges off to be replaced by James Maddison on 62 minutes.
  • 67' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 70' Matej Vydra gets the nod from Burnley FC. He replaces Jay Rodriguez and will look to change the dynamic.
  • 73' Assisted by Dwight McNeil with the perfectly-timed delivery and Jimmy Dunne makes no mistake. 2-3!
  • 78' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Burnley FC that had 342 games and scored 404 goals.
  • 79' Magnificent from Dennis Praet! That is 10 goals in 120 appearances — and it could not have come at a better time.
  • 83' The Leicester City FC manager makes a substitution. Dennis Praet departs to be replaced by Marc Albrighton.
  • 88' The home supporters are growing impatient. Leicester City FC must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 90' The referee does not hesitate — a Yellow card for Phil Bardsley on 90 minutes.
  • 90' The crowd applauds Harvey Barnes as he leaves the pitch. Wes Morgan steps in for Leicester City FC.
  • Another three points for Leicester City FC.
