Misery for Marti as Foxes stunned by wizard of Os

LEICESTER boss Marti Cifuentes criticised the effort of in-demand midfielder Bilal El Khannouss as his side crashed to defeat.

- 

The 21-year-old was replaced by Patson Daka for the start of the second half after a subdued display in the opening 45 minutes.

But Milutin Osmajic's 85th-minute winner for Preston ensured the Foxes would leave Deepdale empty-handed regardless.

On El Khannouss, the Leicester manager said: "I was not very happy with Bilal's performance.

"I always expect a lot with players of this quality."

Cifuentes added: "I was obviously not happy with the performance of the whole team in the first half, it was not just about Bilal.

"But I am more demanding with the best players and I think Bilal is a fantastic player."
