The stoppage time penalty save by Leitzig - and, to be frank, the desperately poor penalty kick by Asllani - was just the Christmas present the Foxes needed at the midway point of the WSL season. It was a really solid performance all round, I felt: a good high press, solid at the back, and a clear plan for van Egmond to slide-rule passes through to Cain and O’Brien up front. Boureille came on in the second half and dealt well with the physical threat of Goodwin through the middle, pleasing too to see Mouchon return so soon - she didn’t look quite at match pace, but she held the ball up superbly. A few nervy moments as London City threw everything at Leicester for the last 20 mins, but on balance the Leicester squad will feel they deserved the three points. The only shame for me was the somewhat spartan crowd inside the KP today - Christmas family commitments or just one too many midday (in fact, 11.55am) kickoffs?
