The concerned noise surrounding Leicester may not have been quieted, but Martí Cifuentes’s team, who are seeking a return to the Premier League as soon as possible, brushed aside the doubts – and Charlton’s high-intensity press – thanks to Abdul Fatawu’s sensational strike.
“It was a far from perfect game,” said Cifuentes. “Their approach was very aggressive, very physical. They threw a lot of bodies in the box. It is not a performance I am extremely pleased or happy with. The identity of what we want to see is still not there.”
