Leicester Beat Birmingham 2-0 to End Blues’ Unbeaten Start

The win lifts Leicester to third before the international break.

Overview

  • Abdul Fatawu struck in the eighth minute and Ricardo Pereira added an 88th-minute second from 16-year-old Jeremy Monga’s cross.
  • Birmingham suffered their first league defeat since returning to the Championship and now sit seventh in the table.
  • Chris Davies said Pereira’s late tackle should have been a red card after it was punished with only a booking, with Sky Sports pundits also calling it a red.
  • Reports highlighted Birmingham’s limited chance creation, which was further hampered by the injury absence of Jay Stansfield.
  • Demarai Gray produced some of Birmingham’s best moments but was jeered by the Leicester crowd on his King Power return.
