Alex Neil gives his thoughts on Leicester City after his Potters outfit fell to a 2-0 defeat at the King Power Stadium, Kelechi Iheanacho and Jamie Vardy getting the goals
Leicester City will be “one of the best Championship teams in a long time”, Stoke boss Alex Neil said following his side’s defeat at the King Power Stadium.
City made it 10 wins from 11 and six in a row in the league by beating the Potters 2-0, Kelechi Iheanacho scoring in the first half with Jamie Vardy netting in the second. Vardy is one of four England internationals in the squad along with Conor Coady, James Justin, and Harry Winks, something Neil feels is unprecedented in the Championship.
The Scot believed the quality of the City squad, and how well they can play when teams open up against them, means they will go down as one of the best sides to grace the division in some years. That’s despite Neil feeling like his injury-ravaged side initially coped well with Enzo Maresca’s men.
“I thought our set-up was good,” the Stoke boss said. “I don’t think they had a chance until the goal. The goal is really disappointing from our perspective. Iheanacho is really wide, we just need to get down the line of the ball.
