The English FC Leicester City won their first game of the season with an emphatic 4-0 thrashing of their guest of Nottingham Forest that takes them off the bottom of the Premier League table and leaves their East Midlands rivals there instead, in the ninth round of the English Premier League. The home victory in the East Midlands derby lifted some of the pressure off Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers and piled more on Forest’s Steve Cooper, whose promoted side is now last after a fifth straight defeat.
Leicester City's 4 scores against Nottingham Forest came from James Madison, Harvey Barnes, and Patson Dhaka in the 25th, 27th, 35th, and 73rd minutes of the match. Leicester City raises its score to 4 points after achieving its first victory in the Premier League this season, to occupy the nineteenth and penultimate place, with a goal difference only from Nottingham Forest, who has the same balance of points and is bottom of the standings.
