Leicester City 2-1 West Bromwich Albion: Birmingham World reporter Charlie Haffenden's post-match reaction at the King Power Stadium

Transcript

00:00 West Bromwich Albion can take plenty of positives from their trip to Leicester City, but the

00:05 Foxes are 2-1 victors here at the King Power Stadium. So many opportunities for the Baggies,

00:11 they created far more than what Leicester did, but goals from Wilfred Ndidi, Jamie Vardy

00:16 were enough to put Leicester 2 in front, and then Jed Wallace's goal in the 75th or 76th

00:21 minute I believe it was, made it 2-1, wasn't quite enough to get the Baggies back into

00:25 it scoreline wise, but wow in terms of opportunities, so many in the opening quarter of an hour,

00:30 Mikey Johnston could have had a hat trick in the first 20 minutes or so, opportunities

00:35 as well for Grady Deangana, Okar Yokozlu as well having a good effort, just go over the

00:40 bar, and then at the start of the second half, Leicester missed a penalty which gave West

00:44 Brom hope, 1-0 at this point, West Brom just absolutely peppering the Foxes goal, goal

00:50 line clearances from Hamza Chowdhury, two of those adding to one in the first half,

00:54 making it a hat trick I suppose you could call it, of goal line interventions, Grady

00:58 Deangana missing just wide of the post, Cedric Kiprae hitting the bar with a header, or just

01:03 off his back it might have been, so many chances but they just didn't take them, I couldn't

01:08 believe it, it was an absolutely chaotic 51st and 52nd minute, everything happening, Leicester

01:14 somehow weathered the storm and they got their second goal through Jamie Vardy, a header

01:18 making up for a missed penalty in the first half, and getting themselves in control of

01:22 the scoreline, Jed Wallace scoring his goal but it wasn't quite enough for West Brom to

01:26 get back into it and unfortunately for the Baggies, the points all go to Leicester.

01:30 In terms of the table, the Foxes are back at the top of the Skybet Championship following

01:34 their win, West Brom will be looking over their shoulders a little bit worried, perhaps

01:38 with Hull City having games in hand, Norwich of course could leapfrog them as well, two

01:43 big games to go, Sheffield Wednesday next, West Brom are in control still but they must

01:48 start converting these chances and get these points on the board.
