After their most recent victory, Leicester City manager Enzo Maresca praised Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
Last night, Leicester City defeated Preston North End 3-0 at home in their most recent Championship game. At the top of the table, they are now two points ahead of Ipswich Town.
Dewsbury-Hall, 25, scored twice against the Lilywhites at the King Power Stadium. He has made an impressive start to the new season.
Maresca was pleased with his latest performance and told the club website after the game: “He scored twice, I’m happy for him.
“But I’m especially happy for his behaviour because now it’s more calm, more patient. At the edge of the box, he is looking for his team-mates. He’s improving a lot.”
He also added: “I’m very happy. I think it’s always complicated to win these kind of games, especially every three days. We probably struggled a bit more [in the] first half, but in the second half we were much better.”
LEICESTER IN EXCELLENT FORM
Leicester have adapted well to life in the second tier following their relegation from the Premier League. They have won nine of their opening 10 league outings and have only been beaten by Hull City.
Maresca, who worked at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola’s number two, was brought in over the summer and has since done a solid job as he looks to guide the Foxes back to the top flight at the first time of asking.
Dewsbury-Hall has been having a good time lately and has five goals this season after playing in 13 games across all competitions.
The man, who was born in Nottingham, has spent his whole professional career playing for his present club. He progressed through the ranks of the academy and was a fixture at different young levels.
He had previously spent time on loan at Blackpool and Luton Town to gain experience, but he is now an important player for Leicester.
