Youri Tielemans was shocked to see James Maddison had been named Player of the Match after Leicester City’s clash with Everton on Saturday.
The Foxes saw out a 2-0 win at Goodison Park and have moved up to 13th in the Premier League table after achieving three wins in their last four games. Just a month ago, they were sat rock bottom of the table.
Tielemans netted this third goal of the campaign seconds before the halftime whistle and it was another outstanding strike to add to his portfolio. He used his knee to cushion the ball after a pass from Maddison and went on to hit one straight at the top corner, which would’ve been unstoppable for any goalkeeper across Europe.

You don’t get Man of the Match for a ‘top bin’ goal. Over 90 mins, Maddsion was a worthy winner.
