AdminLeicester City were left frustrated after conceding a late equaliser in today’s pre-season clash, with a costly defensive mistake denying Russell Martin’s side victory.
The Foxes looked to be on course for a positive result after taking a 3-2 lead, but their advantage disappeared in the closing moments when an individual error at the back allowed the opposition to level the score. It was a disappointing end to an otherwise encouraging performance.
Supporters had watched Leicester produce plenty of attacking quality throughout the match, creating chances and finding the net three times.
However, the late lapse overshadowed much of the good work as the visitors capitalised on the mistake without hesitation.
The defensive error immediately became a talking point among fans, many expressing their frustration on social media after seeing a winning position slip away in the final minutes.
While pre-season results are not the priority, the manner of the equaliser will concern the coaching staff as they continue preparations for the new campaign.
Russell Martin will now be hoping his players learn from the setback before the Championship season begins.
Although there were positives to take from the performance, the late equaliser served as a reminder that concentration is vital until the final whistle.
Leicester will now turn their attention to the next stage of their preparations, determined to iron out defensive mistakes and build momentum ahead of the competitive season.
