"It was a very good assist from Jeremy Monga. He said to him before he came on, let's try to make the difference and he did with the perfect ball,"
""Definitely happy because it's never easy to win in this league against a good team that has done well so far," Cifuentes added. "We had to grind it out but at the same time credit to the players. It was a game with perhaps not many chances. We definitely need to improve, but at the same time, I see a team that has a soul, that has commitment, desire and that's the foundation of eve"
Ricardo Pereira praised Jeremy Monga after Leicester City beat Birmingham City 2-0 at the King Power Stadium. Both Pereira and Monga came off the bench and combined for the second goal, with Abdul Fatawu opening the scoring in the eighth minute. Two minutes from time Monga's footwork created space for a cross to the back post that Pereira tucked home from close range. Leicester moved up to third in the Championship, despite having a lower xG (0.56) than Birmingham (0.83). Monga previously became the youngest Championship goalscorer at 16 years and 37 days. Manager Marti Cifuentes commended the team's commitment and desire while noting the need to improve.
