Leicester City celebrated a first win in seven games as they hammered Queens Park Rangers to advance to the Fourth Round of the FA Cup.
The Foxes beat QPR 6-2 in a game was that overshadowed by foggy conditions at the King Power Stadium.
James Justin grabbed a brace whilst Stephy Mavididi, Facundo Buonanotte, Jamie Vardy and a Wout Faes wonder-strike sealed their place in the draw for the next round.
There was still plenty to work on as Leicester fans hit out at Harry Winks following a fatal error that led to the visitors’ second.
Ruud van Nistelrooy will be happy to finally end a barren run that has included five straight losses and hopefully bring that confidence back to their Premier League campaign.
With that, here are three things we learned from the Foxes’ thumping victory.
Facundo Buonanotte and Bilal El Khannouss show their class
There’s a reason why these two Leicester stars have been the best players this season and once again, their quality was shown in abundance.
Bilal El Khannouss and Facundo Buonanotte both started the win and were instrumental all afternoon.
El Khannouss grabbed two assists as he set up Mavididi’s goal before delivering a delicious floating ball that was headed home by Buonanotte.
The young Argentine sent a message to Van Nistelrooy with his performance and the Leicester duo have been dubbed as the ‘greatest hopes’ when it comes to staying up in the top flight.
It would be a huge surprise to not see the duo in the starting XI for the game against Crystal Palace.
Struggling Leicester stars get much-needed confidence boost
Confidence is key in football and in recent weeks at Leicester, it appears to have been on the floor.
James Justin and Wout Faes are two Foxes players who have really struggled in recent times, but both were solid.
Some Leicester fans still called out Justin for his performance but his two goals and and stable defensive play was a welcome sight.
Faes has been out of the XI since Van Nistelrooy joined but, with Jannik Vestergaard out injured, the Belgian was given a chance to prove himself.
He led at the back with his hard-hitting tackles and strong range of passing. The centre-back then capped off an excellent afternoon with the goal of the day as he dispossessed the QPR attacker before driving forward and unleashing a long-range effort that came as a shock to everyone.
Leicester fans make thoughts on John Rudkin clear
Fans left the King Power Stadium in far more positive spirits in comparison to recent weeks but still made their thoughts very clear around John Rudkin.
Foxes fans have demanded Rudkin be replaced and while watching their side earn a much-needed win, large sections of the crowd were heard singing: “We want Rudkin out”.
Rudkin has been labelled by supporters as one of the main reasons for Leicester’s struggles both on the pitch and off it too.
The club’s director of football has lots of power when it comes to making decisions for the Foxes and
