STAR MAN - LUKASZ FABIANSKI

The only Swansea player who could travel back to South Wales with any degree of pride in his performanc­e. Alert, brave and fantastic stop for penalty. 8 KYLE Targeted NAUGHTONby Leicester from the off, and responseto­o. Positional­ly showed desperate,why they were weak right tacklingwa­s effectivel­yand an ‘pass offensivei­t to Barrow’.game that 4 JORDI AMAT Erraticlef­t in a at one-on-onetimes. Shouldn’twith Vardy have and been as much as he battled, silly swipe of the leg was fortunate not to be punished by Mahrez from the spot. 4 FEDERICO FERNANDEZ Never looked comfortabl­e and was perhaps a touch fortunate to only get a yellow for early foul on Vardy that set the tone. 4 STEPHEN KINGSLEY Took a time to settle into game and work out where the danger was, but at least adapted and got to grips with things, but hardly a fine afternoon as blue shirts swarmed. 5 JACK CORK (CAPT) Did his best to try and protect back four and at least showed tactical awareness of the game in front of him but couldn’t do work of two men. 6 LEROY FER Only involved when it suited him, which was only when it was too late. Tried to be physical and failed while the passing was hopeful at best. Missing when Leicester countered, but did leap well for goal. 5 MODOU BARROW Swansea’s best attacking hope when he ran at defences and it eventually got some joy with lovely ball for Fer and hint of a comeback at death. 7 GYLFI SIGURDSSON Hugely frustrated by the game going on behind him before dropping down into midfield where he tried to get on the ball. Well below best, but at least he worried Leicester – and then bizarrely taken off. 5 WAYNE ROUTLEDGE Surprised some by starting game after under-performing start to the season and did next to nothing to state his case. 4 FERNANDO LLORENTE Isolated, but hardly did much about it as he lost battle of wills with Huth. Stopped too easily by Schemichel with only real chance. 4 SUBSTITUTE­S Ki Sung-Yueng (for Sigursdsso­n 59): Brought first bit of control. 7 Jefferson Montero (for Routledge 59): Offered threat. 6 Oliver McBurnie (for Cork 86): Debut 6 Not Used: Nordfeldt (gk), Rangel, van der Hoorn, Fulton.
