Preston 0-3 Leicester City: Foxes seal Championship title in style

By Sports Desk April 29, 2024

Leicester City cruised to a 3-0 win over Preston in the Championship on Monday to clinch the title with a game to spare.

Jamie Vardy was the star for the Foxes as he scored in both halves before Kasey McAteer made sure of the points with an unmarked header.

Abdul Fatawu had the chance to cap an already memorable night for the travelling fans but hit the post with his curler.

Preston slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat, while Leicester go into their final game against Blackburn Rovers with the knowledge that they will lift the trophy after the final whistle. 

Data Debrief

Jamie Vardy has scored 18 goals this season (two in this game), more than any other Leicester player in the competition. He has also netted in his last three games, scoring four goals in total.

It was a dominant performance from the Foxes, who had 19 shots with 11 of those on target. At the other end, Preston only managed to test Jakub Stolarczyk once from their five attempts.

  • Kompany not focused on Champions League pressure after Union Berlin victory Kompany not focused on Champions League pressure after Union Berlin victory

    Vincent Kompany said he is not focused on the pressures of qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League after Bayern Munich's 3-0 win over Union Berlin. 

    Bayern moved temporarily top of the Bundesliga standings thanks to a brace from Harry Kane and Kingsley Coman's third goal in as many league games. 

    Kompany's side have now scored 32 goals in their first nine games this season, taking their tally to 50 goals under the Belgian's tenure in 14 games in all competitions. 

    But Bayern have failed to replicate that form in the Champions League, failing to win their last two games following an opening day mauling of Dinamo Zagreb. 

    They find themselves in 23rd place in the new league format in the competition, and are at risk of not making the knockout stages for the first time since 2002-03. 

    "Fact is that every Bayern game has pressure. But I am not focusing on pressure. Just on the next game," Kompany said.

    "This format is eight teams qualify and 20-odd play in playoffs.

    "For the top eight teams it is true (automatic qualification) but it is not about being in or out of the Champions League with this format." 

    Bayern host Benfica on Wednesday, and will be looking to turn their European fortunes around on home soil.

    And Kompany believes the intensity shown in their latest Bundesliga triumph can be used as positive momentum ahead of their Champions League return. 

    "I think the team was working hard in the first and second half, but I was happy with our performance in the second half because we did not concede momentum," Kompany said.

    "We did it really well. It was not an easy game, therefore it is a great result for us."

  • Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Lens: Early Dembele strike extends unbeaten run Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 Lens: Early Dembele strike extends unbeaten run

    Paris Saint-Germain made it 10 games unbeaten to start the Ligue 1 season after they overcame 10-man Lens 1-0.

    Ousmane Dembele scored four minutes into Saturday's clash at the Parc des Princes.

    Bradley Barcola chased down a long ball and brilliantly flashed a cross into the box for Dembele to steer home.

    That goal proved enough for PSG to get over the line, with Lens reduced to 10 in the second half when defender Abdukodir Khusanov was shown a straight red card for a dangerous lunge at Achraf Hakimi.

    Following a shock 1-0 loss to Angers for second-placed Monaco on Friday, the win moved PSG six points clear at the top of the standings.

    Data Debrief: Fast starters

    Luis Enrique's side have now scored three goals in the first five minutes of their Ligue 1 games this season, more than any other team.

    Each of these three goals (Lee Kang-in v Le Havre, Barcola v Montpellier, Dembele v Lens) came from the first shot of the match for PSG.

    Lens goalkeeper Brice Samba kept PSG from adding more by making seven saves, as the hosts finished with 2.65 expected goals from their 18 shots.

  • Third-place 'doesn't mean anything', says Forest boss Nuno Third-place 'doesn't mean anything', says Forest boss Nuno

    Nottingham Forest leapfrogged into third place in the Premier League after a 3-0 victory against West Ham United, but Nuno Espirito Santo believes “it doesn’t mean anything.”

    Forest took the lead through in-form striker Chris Wood before Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ola Aina added two more following Edson Alvarez’s dismissal for a second yellow late in the first half. 

    It was a complete display for Nuno’s side, who have outperformed expectations so far this season, with this representing the first time Forest will end the day in the top three of the top-flight since 1998.

    While the manager was proud of the achievement, he will not rest on his laurels this early in the season.

    "It doesn't mean anything now. We have to keep going as it's a over long season ahead of us. Positive moment but we should keep going," Nuno told the press.

    "I think all of us should be proud of the way we performed, we started the game well and controlled their threat while being positive going forward.

    "The red card changed everything but the players understood not to be complacent. This is what football is about, fantastic moment for us and the fans."

    Forest racked up an expected goals (xG) total of 2.08 while limiting West Ham to just 0.16 xG at the City Ground.

    They had 19 shots, with six of those on target, leaving vice-captain Ryan Yates hungry for more by the final whistle.

    "We were really getting into it at the end and we wanted more goals. Unfortunately mine didn't go in but we are delighted with today's work,” he told BBC 5 Live.

    “[Nuno] can really implement the ideas. There are many things that have gone into why we were doing well. I think the recruitment has been fantastic. We have kept the core together and we are doing really well.”
