Key figures

End of streak for Leicester after 3 matches with only one goal conceded at most at home (since 26/08/2003). It was the best streak for the club since 04/01/2003-27/04/2003 (11 matches).

Only back at the time of Sir Matt Busby head of Manchester United (28/12/1970-02/06/1971), you can see a manager go over Sir Alex Ferguson with 1.81 goals scored per game in Premier League (1.98).
