Leicester was humiliated by a team that we all thought would finish at the bottom of the league at the end of the season, Claudio Ranieri’s men lined up with last season’s stars Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy intact, while new signing Ahmed Musa started.
The champions were expected to bounce back when Mike Dean offered a penalty early in the second half, despite Demarai Gray being fouled outside the box.
While Mahrez coolly converted the penalty, Leicester’s good work was undone just 10 minutes afterwards when Schmeichel recklessly threw away possession and, with his defence caught out of position, the goalkeeper was caught out as it fell to an unmarked Robert Snodgrass, whose fine finish struck the back of the net.
This is the first game of the season and we are hoping to see an improved performance next time out by their stars.
