"Oh.... Just a little bit unlucky!
"It seems that Burnley's attack today is very fierce! "
Burnley seemed very energetic in the first attack at the beginning of the game.
They were full of expectations for the next game.
But they never expected that this game, which they thought was evenly matched, ended in a dismal result.
And the first fierce attack at the beginning was not the beginning of their attack, but the end.
"Schmeichel threw a hand-thrown ball!

"Xia's wonderful passing and clever assists!
"Vardy's quick forward shot!
"All in one go!
"Leicester City played their wonderful fast break!
"With a one-goal lead, this game becomes easy to play for them!
"Will they continue to attack or stabilize the situation next?"
The commentator asked the question, but the answer was obvious.
Facing Burnley, Leicester City will not hold back!
After scoring a goal, Leicester City's attack continued.
Xia Xing was more active on the left, and his frequent forward runs made Burnley's defense panic.
Burnley heavily defended Xia Xing and did not lose the ball for the time being.
But they forgot one thing...
"Xia gets the ball again!
"This time he suddenly dribbles the ball along the middle!
"David jones rushes to him to grab the ball!
"Xia Xing gently touches the ball towards the left front, using his speed to directly break through the defense!
"Jones reaches out and pulles!
"Xia shakes off his arm!
"Jones falls to the ground!
"But the referee doesn't seem interested!
"Isn't this fake fall too obvious? Haha!!
"Xia continues to dribble the ball forward, and he returnes to the left side!
"Burnley's heavy defensive troops have been following him!
"Xia suddenly passes the ball!
"The ball flies to the right!
"He didn't pass it to Vardy and Chris Wood who were advancing!
"It's Mahrez! "
"The ball is caught steadily by Mahrez!
"Now Burnley's defensive attention is on Xia and the two forwards!
"Mahrez receives the ball!
"He takes two steps forward and volleyes directly!
"About 25 meters away from the goal, Mahrez's left-footed shot makes a wonderful curve!
"Straight into the upper left corner of the goal!
"Goalkeeper Heaton jumped with all his strength, but was still powerless!
"The ball went in!
"A wonderful long shot!
"A worldie of a goal!
"When all Burnley players were defending Xia, they forgot one thing!
"That Leicester City has another winger king——
"Riyad Mahrez!
"The wonderful shot just now was telling the Burnley players:
"Boys, if you forget me, you will pay the price!
"Leicester City is now leading 2-0!
"Is there any possibility for Burnley to comeback "
"it is highly unlikely, but this is football"
Looking at the excited celebration of the Leicester City players, even the Burnley players themselves have lost some confidence.
Just now, Xia Xing's series of actions of controlling the ball, dribbling past the defense, and passing the ball exhausted the players defending him.
They have never played with stars such as Ronaldo, Messi, and Kaka, and they don't know what that feels like.
But now, they think that this might be the feeling.
They tried their best,
but they couldn't steal the ball from Xia Xing. Except for rough tackles, which were slightly effective, the ball couldn't be taken from his feet.
Passing it back and forth, it finally came back to Xia Xing's feet.
As for other physical collisions, Xia Xing was not afraid and did not fall behind.
This makes the players marking him very uncomfortable.
In the 41st minute of the game, Xia Xing once again provided a wonderful assist on the left.
"A 45-degree cross!
"Chris Wood jumps high!
"A Header!
"The ball goes in!
"Leicester City scored another goal!
"3 to 0!
"The current Leicester City is simply invincible in the Championship!
"They are not only sharp in attack, but also in all directions!
"Whether advancing in the middle or attacking from the wing,
"or taking a high ball, they can find a good chance to score!
"Such a team, hurry up and go to the Premier League!
"The first half is not over yet, and they are leading by three goals!
"This game is over early!
"Xia handed in a transcript of three assists alone. He is the best player on the field for Leicester City today!"
With a three-goal lead, Leicester City ended the first half of the journey.
In the second half, Pearson used two substitutions directly.
Knockaert replaced Vardy and Schlupp replaced Drinkwater.
The purpose of these two substitutions is obvious, both of which are to give more opportunities to the substitute players.
Last season, he was still the absolute main force of the team. This season, Knockaert's starting position was snatched away by Vardy, who performed better.
The 21-year-old Schlupp, as a product of Leicester City's own youth training, is also loved and focused on in training.
After the two came on the pitch, Leicester City still maintained its offensive momentum.
In the 66th minute of the second half, it was the cooperation between the two substitutes that created another goal.
"Mahrez accelerates with the ball on the right!
"He Passes the ball to the middle!
"Schlupp receives the ball!
"Xia has already rushed up on the left!
"His One move takes away two defensive players!
"Now even I can see the defensive gap in Burnley!
"Schlupp did not pass the ball to the left, but chooses to pass it straight forward!
"Knockaert cleverly moves to receive the ball, turnes and shoots!
"The ball goes into the left corner of the goal!
"The ball went in!
"4 to 0!
"Leicester City scored another goal!
"Perfect attack!
"Two young substitutes team up to create a goal!
"The current Leicester City not only has first-class main players,
"the substitutes are also in very good shape!
"Such a Leicester City has a promising future!"
