City booed after missing chance to climb into top two
Leicester Mercury
|October 01, 2025
LEICESTER City threw away victory as they failed to make their dominance count at home to Wrexham.
For 75 minutes, City had produced one of their most complete performances of the season, but they allowed the visitors back into the game and were punished, Nathan Broadhead scoring a late equaliser.
It means City have, for the first time in more than 20 years, drawn four games in a row and missed out on a chance to move into the Championship's top two.
They had taken the lead through Jordan James' first goal for the club, but did not create enough good chances for a second goal, and were made to pay.
For the first midweek Championship fixture of the season, boss Marti Cifuentes made four changes, including some surprise alterations. Patson Daka and Bobby De Cordova-Reid both came in for their first league starts of the season, with Jordan Ayew and Boubakary Soumare omitted from the lineup for the first time this term.
