BREAKING: Leicester City clinched a crucial victory over Norwich City thanks to a dramatic 92nd-minute header from midfielder Jordan James. This win, marking their first in six matches, propels Leicester back into the top half of the league standings.
James showcased remarkable determination as he powered a header from Abdul Fatawu’s cross, sealing a much-needed win for the team. Manager Marti Cifuentes praised his players for their resilience, especially after a disappointing midweek match against Middlesbrough, where they conceded a late equalizer.
Cifuentes expressed his delight at the team’s response to going behind, emphasizing the character they demonstrated throughout the match. “It was a big blow on Tuesday… the personality we showed to keep playing and believe in what we are trying to do shows very strong character,” he stated.
James, who played the full 90 minutes for only the second time this season, remained on the pitch despite battling pain and fatigue. Cifuentes had previously substituted him due to a sore back, but this time his decision to keep James on proved pivotal. The fans celebrated his contribution with chants echoing through the away end at full-time.
With this victory, Leicester City rises to 12th place in the league, now just four points shy of the playoff positions. The team’s performance highlights their potential as they aim to build on this success in upcoming matches.
