Poor attempt to play from the back, we lose possession too easily and the home side punish for it. 1-0 to Leicester

 

[VitalSwansea]

George Byers has a classy touch about him, surely he'll be used in the cup games this season?

Great effort by Cullen from distance, shots hits the top of the crossbar. 19 mins gone.

Leicester get in behind down the left but a low shot at goal is easily saved by Benda.

Some neat passing play from the swans just inside the opposition's half involving Cullen, Blair and Maric.

Free kick won on the edge of the box by Leicester as a tackle on the player running towards goal is delayed. Free kick blocked by Cooper

 

[VitalSwansea]

Harries pass out from the back is easily intercepted but a poor touch from the Leicester player allows Harries to recover with a solid tackle

 

[VitalSwansea]

Both sides applying good, high pressure on the defence and goalkeeper bit unfortunately it's the Swans that look vulnerable to making costly mistakes as a result of it

HT Leicester lead 1-0.

We've not quite got that sharpness and quick turn of pace like we did last season and we're struggling to keep hold of the ball. Only real chance was from distance.
