Leicester City fans are all in agreement about Ruud van Nistelrooy decision that worked perfectly against Tottenham
The Foxes survival hopes have been given a massive boost, following their 2-1 victory away at Spurs.
A number of Leicester players impressed against Tottenham, in what was a statement win for Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Vardy will no doubt grab the headlines but there was one Leicester player in particular who has gone under the radar for his performance.
Some may have been surprised to see Van Nistelrooy hand Bobby De Cordova Reid a start, the Jamaican however would repay his manager’s faith back in full – something which has been recognised by Leicester supporters.
Leicester fans praise Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s performance against Tottenham
Having set up both of Leicester’s goals, Van Nistelrooy’s decision to start the 31-year-old could not have gone much better.
Leicester fans took to social media, to praise the winger’s performance.
One fan said (via X): “BOBBY REID I LOVE YOU”
A third fan said: “I know he gets a bit of stick on here, but two assists by Bobby De Cordova-Reid!!! Let’s hope we can hold on and bag the points.”
Bobby De Cordova-Reid’s impressive stats vs Tottenham
With only two Premier League starts to his name so far this season, De Cordova-Reid’s performance may have come as a surprise to supporters.
Creative in the final third and defensively solid, the Jamaican may have earned himself some more minutes in the future.
De Cordova-Reid’s tally of four chances created was the most of any player at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Van Nistelrooy’s transfer frustrations may be eased if the 31-year-old can provide more performances like that on a more consistent basis.
