Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was hailed as ‘outstanding’ in the Foxes 3-1 win away at Swansea City.
Enzo Maresca’s side extended their winning streak in the Championship to seven games, coming from behind to win courtesy of goals from Jannik Vestergaard, Abdul Issahaku and Kelechi Iheanacho.
But one player starred in particular in the Foxes midfield.
Journalist full of praise for star midfielder
Journalist Jordan Blackwell provided his player ratings for the Leicester players on Saturday afternoon for the Leicester Mercury, where he was full of praise for midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Blackwell rated him at an 8/10 saying: “When City upped the intensity after (Matt) Grimes’ opener, he was outstanding. He was at the heart of everything City did well, always supporting (Stephy) Mavididi on the left and creating countless chances with his movement, commitment and ball-carrying.”
Dewsbury-Hall stars once again
Dewsbury-Hall has been one of the best players in the Championship so far this season, and since taking on Maresca’s advice about taking too many shots a few weeks ago, his game has gone up another level.
He now has nine goal contributions so far this season, the joint highest in the division along with Blackburn Rovers midfielder Sammie Szmodics.
Before the international break, it was clear that Dewsbury-Hall was taking many shots from outside the area, wasting a lot of chances the team were creating.
Now doing that less and suiting the team more, he has scored three times in his last three games from inside the area, whilst also assisting Kasey McAteer at Norwich and Southampton and Abdul Issahaku at Swansea.
The Foxes will be hoping that he can continue this form into next week, where they face Sunderland at home on Tuesday night, before heading to London to face Queens Park Rangers on Saturday afternoon.
