Sixty-three per cent of the teams who have found themselves bottom of the [Premier League](https://theathletic.com/football/premier-league/) after 12 games have been relegated. Conceding this many shots and winning is not sustainable. Amartey, out in the cold earlier this season, continued his admirable deputising for Evans, while This might have been a freak result. However what Faes did, crucially, was ensure that these weren’t clean chances, positioning himself well enough to ensure the majority of these shots were scuffs, glances and toe-pokes. Rodgers’ squad kept three clean sheets in their last four matches before Wolves and reduced their expected goals (xG) conceded per 90 minutes from 1.84 (during their opening seven games) to 1.01 (over their last four). Then Tielemans scored his early stunner and the pattern of the game was set. Leicester dash down the other end, create a half-chance and in it flies. This game was meant to be an acid test for Leicester’s defence. the relegation zone. It was the only detail that stopped Sunday afternoon from being the perfect heist.

Match Report: Wolverhampton Wanderers 0 - 4 Leicester City (Fosse Posse)

Leicester City dismantled Wolverhampton Wanderers by a score of 4-0 at Molineaux on Sunday Morning. First-half goals from Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes ...

The following week, we travel to the blue side of Wolves had 21 shots, 61% of the possession, and 9 corners but couldn’t find the back of the net. Scoring four times from the first four shots is a lot of fun. In addition, Albrighton had a header that apparently counted as a shot we finally had an attempt that didn’t find the back of the net. Vardy picked up a loose ball deep in the Wolves half and found Madders in the middle. Tactically, this meant that Madders took up a central position with Praet moving to the right. The pace dropped over the last ten minutes as both managers reminded their clubs that “giving the ball away cheaply is bad” and “midfielders exist.” The run of play continued to favour Wolves as Diego Costa and Daniel Podence both spurned golden opportunities, but the imperious Ward was up to the challenge. When the whistle blew, City had two goals from only two shots while Wolves had failed to score from thirteen attempts. They only cleared it as far as Tielemans on the right edge of the area. Daka nearly charged down Sa when he dawdled on the ball, and Tielemans just missed getting on the end of a low cross from KDH. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy doubled the tally in the second period, seeing City climb out of the relegation zone. The Belgian took it on the half-volley and hit it as sweetly as anything he’ll ever hit (and yes, I am aware of just how high that bar is).

National media react as Leicester City 'look more like their old ... (Leicestershire Live)

Leicester City made it back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time since mid-May in fashion by putting four past Wolves at Molinuex to move out of ...

Brendan Rodgers had warned of the harsh realities the season would bring after Leicester failed to significantly strengthen in the summer, but the Foxes are now upwardly mobile after three wins from five games. Harvey Barnes, James Maddison and Jamie Vardy also struck as the Foxes scored with their first four shots. Just 12 games into the season, managerless Wolverhampton Wanderers already look like relegation fodder. Wolves, on the other hand, sank to second from bottom and deeper into crisis after a third defeat in four games under caretaker boss Steve Davis. They look more like their old selves, and Rodgers like a manager who is no longer glancing nervously over his shoulder. Here is how a selection of national newspapers reacted to the match.

“He scores goals and creates goals. In that time, Leicester face Manchester City, Everton and West Ham United in the Premier League as well as a trip to Newport County in the EFL Cup. Maddison has only featured once for England in the past, his debut coming in a 7-0 win over Montenegro in 2019, and he will have to impress in the few remaining games that come before Southgate must announce his 26-man squad on the 14 November.

Leicester injury return dates: Ndidi and Evans (Foxes of Leicester)

Foxes of Leicester list Leicester City's current injury issues and apparent return dates for sidelined players Wilfred Ndidi and Jonny Evans.

Of course, the Northern Irishman was particularly satisfied and excited with the outcome and manner of victory. The centreback seems a real character and a truly great addition to the outfit. Against Wolves, however, he seemed to get his changes right and at correct times.
