For Bournemouth, there was a prospective new owner in town, the Las Vegas-based billionaire Bill Foley, and a touch of razzmatazz to match as two goals in four second-half minutes secured a comeback victory against a lackadaisical Leicester that gives little credence to the suggestion by Brendan Rodgers only a matter of days ago that his struggling side had turned a corner.
For Leicester, this display was a pale imitation of the demolition of Nottingham Forest on Monday, a result that Rodgers had stressed his players needed to back up with another win here. Instead familiar failings resurfaced and Rodgers was left thumping his thighs in frustration as Philip Billing and Ryan Christie rendered Patson Daka’s opener redundant as his side crumbled to a defeat that leaves them in the relegation zone and, in effect, back at square one.
