So the great run finally comes to an end and frustratingly, in front of the TV cameras...
I thought we were suckered into playing Leicester at their own game, only playing our short passing game in the last quarter of each half. When we did, we created a number of chances and could have taken something from the game, as while Leicester were getting forward a lot, I thought our defence coped very well with them..
Of course, the final score was controversially through a penalty that never was. I was 120 yards away at the other end of the ground and it was clear from there that Gomes had got a foot to the ball. For a Premier League referee to allow the crowd to influence him in such a way says more about the standard of refereeing than anything else.
The positive to take is that we are still top of the League going into a fortnight’s break, a position that we would all have settled for as the season started. Hopefully, the fortnight will allow the new signings to bed in and play a full part in what has been a great start to the season.
