Some Leicester City fans were blown away by Rachid Ghezzal’s display against Fleetwood Town.
Leicester City recorded an emphatic 4-0 victory over Fleetwood Town on Tuesday night – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter picked out winger Rachid Ghezzal for special praise after his display.
The Foxes eased past League One opposition in the second round of the Carabao Cup, despite making eight changes to their starting XI.
Christian Fuchs’ stunning half-volley put the hosts in front at the King Power Stadium early into the match, while Vicente Iborra and Kelechi Iheanacho also got on the scoresheet.
Ghezzal wrapped up the scoring in the 71st minute with a sensational strike of his own, as he cut inside onto his left foot from the right wing and curled one into the top corner.
The 26-year-old netted his first goal for Leicester since joining in the summer from Monaco and it was his first start for Claude Puel’s side.
He has been compared by many to ex-Leicester ace Riyad Mahrez given the fact he is a left-footed right-winger from Algeria.
Ghezzal can only dream of enjoying the same sort of success in a blue shirt as Mahrez, but he certainly caught the eye with his display in the cup.
A selection of Foxes fans were impressed by what they saw from their summer addition in midweek, as he tormented Fleetwood with his pace and trickery.
Here is some of the Leicester reaction to Ghezzal’s display:
