This was our first real tonking of the season. We have put in good performances against the top teams so far this season, this was the exception.One way to get back in a game against these top teams is through a set piece. Why is it our corners never ended up in even an attempt on goal, and they made it look easy to score from a corner. Watching that corner again Engels runs into no mans land, following neither the ball or a man.So many areas for improvement, but for me we definitely need to work on set pieces, both attacking and defensively.We were outplayed by the better team.Let's learn and move on.
Out of interest, I've not seen it mentioned on here but I wonder why our two penalty claims towards the end did not go to VAR. They were quick enough checking our goal.

Vardy showed what an effect a pacy striker can have. Even if you ignore his goals, he pulled our defence all over the place and out of position. Compare that with Wesley who spends most of the game mooching about doing very little in the no man's land between midfield and the opposition penalty area.
Not sure why people are clutching their pearls over Vardy's celebration.
