The Leicester City summer signing had a night to forget as Brendan Rodgers’ side secured passage to the quarter-finals.
A number of Leicester City fans have been commenting on Twitter about their EFL Cup win last night and, while most of the Foxes players put in good displays, James Justin’s performance came under some scrutiny.
The King Power summer signing was thoroughly impressive on his Leicester debut against former club Luton in the same competition last month, netting on his debut, but was a lot more subdued against Burton yesterday.
Although Justin did show several nice touches, he caught out of position a couple of times, including for an opposition chance late on in the first half, and although it is still early days for the 21-year-old, some Leicester fans nonetheless were concerned by his display on the night.
Here is some of the reaction on social media:
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers made nine changes from the side which tore Southampton apart last week and raced into a two-goal lead by the 20th minute through Kelechi Iheanacho and Youri Tielemans.
Although Liam Boyce halved the deficit with a 20-yard effort for the hosts, James Maddison’s late close-range effort made sure of victory for the Foxes, who will find out their quarter-final opponents on Thursday morning.
