In the 15th minute of the game, Everton had two more attacks.
One was an attack from the left, with Pienaar still active.
The ball was passed to Naismith, whose shot from a small angle was blocked by captain Morgan.
Another attack from the center, Barry controlled the ball steadily.
McGeady had already run out of space, but he didn't expect Xia Xing to touch the ball.
The trajectory of the ball changed, and in the end McGeady lost the best opportunity to catch the ball. The next step was to take a hasty shot which missed the goal.
Everton continued to attack, but there has never been a particularly high-quality offense.
Since the start of the new season, every team has been adjusting their status, and Everton has not yet achieved the momentum of fifth place in the league last season.
A wave of consecutive attacks ended and Everton paused slightly.
At this time, Xia Xing, who had been running extensively on the left and middle, observed this detail.
Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, he muttered a few words to Vardy who was returning to defense.
"During this period, Stones pressed higher and we have a chance."
"Understood, you go up too and I'll cover you."
"good!"
In a few words, the two reached a consensus.
Everton once again looked to attack out wide.
Xia Xing cruised to the center to mark Barry, and Everton right back Stones came up.
His passing and ball control are excellent, and he is good at both offense and defense on the wing.
This 20-year-old young man has been targeted by many wealthy clubs, and his future is unlimited.
Stones received Barry's pass and sprinted forward quickly!
But he didn't expect that Xia Xing stepped out of the way to give him a chance!
Xia Xing quickly retreated to the wing and followed closely behind him!
De Laet has rushed forward!
Directly going down for a sliding tackle, Looking extremely ferocious!
Stones was startled and jumped up quickly!
Although he was not tackled, the ball was lost!
De Laet fell to the ground and bent his knees, controlled the ball, and kicked his legs hard!
Xia Xing received the ball steadily in front!
Nice pass!
Xia Xing cheered in his heart and started running!
Dribbling the ball and accelerating down the wing!
Everton's right midfielder McCarthy grabbed at the ball!
Strong McCarthy squeezed Xia Xing hard!
But Xia Xing didn't suffer at all!
In terms of physical confrontation, in the current Leicester City formation, except for captain Morgan, no one can squeeze him away!
McCarthy was very strong, but still couldn't squeeze out Xia Xing!
Xia Xing rushed forward with all his strength and rushed away from McCarthy!
Everton's right wing is now empty!
Stones was still chasing after him, and McCarthy was also passed!
Central defender Distin stepped forward!
Xia Xing quickly cut inside and passed Distin!
Vardy moved quickly in the penalty area, and the other central defender Jagielka did not dare to lose his position!
The old captain Barry chased after him from behind!
Xia Xing felt the pressure from behind, and he suddenly stopped the ball at the penalty area line and cut back!
Barry suddenly lost him!
Xia Xing suddenly picked up speed and rushed straight into the penalty area!
Now, no one can stop him!
Facing former Manchester United goalkeeper Howard, Xia Xing shot furiously!
"The ball went in!
"Absolutely wonderful!!!
"Wow!
"What did we see just now?
"A 19-year-old talented kid has turned up in the Premier League!
"Leicester City has been suppressed by Everton.
"You know this is their second attack in this game!
"That's it!
"Let's take a look at the video replay of the scoring process——
"Xia passed three people on the left and scored!
"The strong McCarthy failed to knock him away, and Distin failed to guard against him!
"Even the old captain Barry was easily dodged by him!
"The shot from a small angle after he broke into the penalty area was even more exciting!
"Whether it was the previous dribbling, speed, confrontation, or the final shot,
"Everything was done perfectly!
"Excellent!
"This young man is from China, but he has British nationality!
"Our England national team has a new option for the future!
"1 to 0!
"Leicester City opened the scoring and took the lead!"
Alan Shearer's commentary was equally passionate, and there was constant applause for the just scored goal.
At this time, the King Power Stadium was also shaking with excitement!
The cheers are like waves and the applause is like thunderstorm!
Their first Premier League goal was so exciting!
marvelous!
Carragher, who was sitting aside, curled his lips: "It's just a random luck. Leicester City should not be too proud. You must know that there is still a long time left in the game, and their opponents are much more experienced than them."
Some people are sour, while others are naturally sweet.
On the sidelines of the pitch, Xia Xing was surrounded by his teammates and reveled in the cheers of tens of thousands of fans.
Although he has scored here countless times last season and performed wonderfully,
this is the first time he has scored in the Premier League!
This is also Leicester City's first Premier League goal!
The Significance can not be overstated!
Vardy: "Xia! I knew you could score goals!"
Mahrez: "You're amazing!"
Drinkwater: "Our hard work on defense paid off!"
Cambiasso: "Xia, you are excellent!"
Surrounded by his teammates, Xia Xing was all smiles.
But after the game restarted, he returned to his serious expression.
Because this goal is just the beginning, nothing more.
Facing fifth place in the Premier League last season, no one dared to be careless.
The current 1-0 lead does not mean that the game is guaranteed to be won.
In the next period of time, Xia Xing's first priority is still to run in a large area and defend with all his strength.
Seeing Xia Xing's excellent form, Pearson arranged for him to continue to increase his defensive range.
The veteran captain Barry on the opposite side is handed over to his own veteran Cambiasso.
Both players' physical fitness and speed are also much worse than before, so it is suitable for them to compete with each other.
Xia Xing is released and his position is more flexible.
Xia Xing can be seen no matter in the midfield or outside the penalty area.
After scooping McGeady's ball, Carragher frowned: "This ball should be..."
"It should be a super nice tackle!"
Alan Shearer speaks loudly!
"This young man is so great!
"Not only is the offense excellent, but the defense is equally precise!
"International football currently lacks such top-notch B2B talents!
"Not only does he have speed, but also physical ability!
"Not only does he have a good body, but also a good brain!
"I'm becoming more and more optimistic about Xia now!"
Leicester City's defense was solid and they didn't conceed a goal.
The time came to 43 minutes.
This time it was Cambiasso who intercepted Barry's dribble.
Although this is the first time they have partnered together, Cambiaso already has great trust in Xia Xing!
In this case, he struck the ball decisively!
Looking for Xia Xing!
And Xia Xing also sprinted forward neatly and in place!
In the center circle, he directly kicked the ball and passed the ball!
"Xia's pass was wonderful!
" The ball accurately found Vardy on the left side of the penalty area!
"Vardy calmly volleyed in the penalty area!
"The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
"The ball went in!
"2-0!
"Leicester City scores another goal!
"Wonderful performance!
"It only took less than 45 minutes to lead the fifth place in the Premier League last season!
"The Leicester City players told everyone with their wonderful performance——
"They deserve to play in the Premier League!"
