MADD ABOUT THE BOY Puel hails his plucky Jim

-

happy about his quality. He scored a good free-kick at a good time.

“I was not happy at the beginning of the game but it was a fantastic feeling at the end because we kept our character.”

Huddersfie­ld have yet to win this season and could be waiting a long time unless they cut out the dreadful errors.

Coach David Wagner admitted: “We made too many, too big mistakes in the game. All three goals were presents.

“These are individual errors, not tactical errors. The players have to calm down and trust in themselves and their ability.”

It would be fair to say the Terriers peaked early. Five minutes in and a long throw from Philip Billing was helped on by Laurent Depoitre and Jorgensen had the most routine of finishes.

Given the slow start to Leicester’s season, that could have spelled the beginning of disaster but they were rewarded with an equaliser which started with a corner... by Huddersfie­ld.

The inept visitors transforme­d attack into defence and the Foxes took full advantage of missed tackles and general sloppiness.

It was Maddison who threaded the pass which set the strikers on their way.

Vardy collected the ball and, realising he was being caught, set up Iheanacho who beat Jonas Lossl for his first league goal of the season.

The equaliser signalled a change in fortunes. The Terriers have not managed victory in 10 league games, a sequence which should be ringing alarm bells.

They were seen off by an emphatic Leicester response, Maddison scoring his brilliant freekick before Iheanacho sprang Vardy, who left Jorgensen in his slipstream and fired past Lossl.
