Leicester City beat Everton 3-2 at Goodison Park yesterday.
Marcin Wasilewski has earned praise from Leicester City supporters for his performance against Everton yesterday.
Wasilewski has had limited chances in the first-team this season, with Wes Morgan and Robert Huth establishing their places as the team’s first choice centre-back pairing.
However, the powerful Polish defender was required to start against Everton at Goodison Park, after Huth was ruled out through suspension, and he did not disappoint.
The 35-year-old dealt with Everton’s attacking threat expertly and proved that he was a more than able replacement.
Wasilewski has been with Leicester since their days in the Championship, but there were questions marks over whether he would be able to step up at this stage of his career.
Any doubts over his ability were put to bed on Merseyside though, as Leicester secured a huge win.
The Foxes are now guaranteed to be top the Premier League table at Christmas after making a remarkable start to the campaign.
Here is the best reaction from Leicester fans on Twitter to Wasilewski’s display.
Wasilewski deserves so much credit

@ChrisRWhiting yeah Ross was wasteful. Rom didn't get much service to be fair. Morgan and Wasilewski dealt with him physically very well

Just shows this nonsense about 'leicester have no squad depth' when Wasilewski and King come in and we still win

@mrgeoffpeters Got to agree, thought Wasilewski, King and Okazaki played well within the team, despite lack of appearances, looked solid.
