Tielemans fully deserved the award. That goal was simply astonishing. Perhaps Nacho could’ve also won if he capped his fine display with a goal. I thought Jarmie Vardy played well too. All-round, Leicester played well. Maddison showed his usual skills and exquisite technique, seems on course to his old self.
Welldone Nacho, better luck next time.
