Enzo Maresca’s lively Leicester team showed no signs of a New Year’s Eve hangover as they easily defeated struggling Huddersfield 4-1 at the King Power Stadium on Monday. The win extended their unbeaten streak to 10 games, setting a record not seen since their Premier League-winning season in 2015-16.
Leicester is now 10 points ahead at the top of the Championship, and they have their sights set on breaking the points record after goals from Ricardo Pereira, Stephy Mavididi, and Tom Cannon. Despite a few mistakes early in the game, the Foxes dominated possession and quickly took the lead with a goal from Cannon.
Returning captain Ricardo added a second goal shortly after the break, and the Foxes continued to pile on the pressure with more chances and another goal from Cannon. Although Huddersfield managed to score once, Leicester sealed the victory with a freekick from Mavididi.
This win was a blow to Huddersfield, who are now experiencing their own streak of 11 games on New Year’s Day without a win. Despite their upcoming FA Cup tie against Manchester City, Leicester has shown their strength and determination to continue their impressive run.
