Last week, Brendan Rodgers was announced to take over as the new Leicester boss. Leicester. However, the manager had a frustrating start as the Foxes conceded in the last minute against Watford after they were seeing the game 1-1.

Watford opened the scoring thanks to Troy Deeney's header from a Deulofeu freekick. Jamie Vardy, who had the least touches in the game, scored the equalizer for Leicester. Vardy has now scored the first goal for last four Leicester managers. Leicester had all the momentum from there but their vulnerability at the back haunted them. In injury time during the final stages of the game, Deeney slipped a ball through to Andre Gray who then finished it off to make 2-1.

The Foxes are attempting to save their season but Puel could not even save his own job this season. Rodgers had a pretty great time as the manager of Celtic where they dominated the Scottish Premier League. Now, he is back to face reality in the EPL.
