This is how fans reacted after a fight breaks out in the Leicester end with chairs also ripped out during Wolves’ 3-0 win…
@lincswolf: I dare say Leicester City FC will be getting a bill to replace the chairs they ripped up… #lcfc #wwfc
@Stivesfox: It’s the sadness a bad owner, DOF, manager and @LCFC the worst run ever is now doing to supporters! Some one should be chinning Top and Rudkin not fans v fans this board needs to feel our pain
@LestahSam: Sadly it’s not a surprise. Can’t sing rudkin out without a dirty look at minimum, seen multiple full-blown arguments started by people trying to defend the mismanagement and lack of effort from the players. It’s absolutely bizarre
@lcfcben03: God we’re back
@LukeCParker: So, it looks like Leicester are falling apart on and off the pitch 😅
@lee1978lcfc: More fight in the stands than on the pitch … Get into em 👊 #lcfc 💙🦊
@mnorman1985: Thought something was going to kick off. That section was at it most of the game. #lcfc
@markmanderfield: More fight than we’ve seen on the pitch all season..
vardyistheone: Heavy handed stewards as per. Like they didn’t expect a row of boxes behind the away fans to be an issue. Also very quick to ask Wolves fans if they were ok or had been offended by any chants. Wasn’t a blue on blue scrap, stewards targeted fans for certain chants
Nolucklcfc: Some lads were getting ejected (don’t know what for) then one of their stewards started fighting back and it all got out of hand.
Bagworthblue: Me and lad only 2 not removed from whole of row M, Standing. So ok I was pissed and left ground with blood all over my legs but no clue why anyone was removed or why I have blood on me. My lad ( sober) also clueless.. I was just singing away and enjoying us being as shit as ever 🤣🤦♂️
Goals from Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen and Rodrigo Gomes lift Wolves up to 13th with a 3-0 victory over already relegated Leicester. The result also made it a sixth consecutive Premier League win under Vitor Pereira.
Leicester City manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I look at the performance and that wasn’t good enough.
“I don’t talk football-wise but I talk intensity, duels. We had many easy ball losses in possession, especially in the first half. In the second, yes, we conceded two on the break but we were better in those things. But today wasn’t good enough.”
On triple change at half-time: “Half-time, Facundo [Buonanotte] had to come off with concussion, Ricardo Pereira had to come off with an injury and, before half-time, Bobby De-Cordova Reid had to come off as well.
“It is a shame and shows how tough this season has been with [Stephy] Mavididi getting injured. Now those two and a concussion. We’re fighting towards the end of the season.”
On what he said to the players: “At half-time I had to address the things I shared with you. That’s not acceptable. Those things don’t require talent.
“How intense you press, how intense you make a duel or the easy ball loses that are going to create lots of transitions where you have to recover. That is addressed then we went into the second half, we had the penalty with Jamie [Vardy].
“That was so unfortunate. I really wanted him to score to get us back in the game but also for himself. That summed the game up.
“Brighton and Liverpool games were positive, today was not. So it’s not consistent enough. Also, it’s a matter of course to keep that motivation and focus going for the team.
“There is a lot to play for, like Jamie’s last games. Supporting our captain should be motivation enough alone to push out everything that’s left.
“We look at all 17 teams above and acknowledge that we weren’t at that level. That is very clear, we have to accept it and move on.”
Wolves manager Vitor Pereira, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I’m very proud of my team and our supporters. Happiness, good football. I’m happy.
“I like good football, I don’t like to win a game without playing good football, with our identity. We can create our identity but first of all, when we arrived, it was defending better and now I want more. I want the team playing football with the ball.
“Since the first day, I said to them, ‘I came here because you have quality. If not, I wouldn’t have taken the job. I have a clear idea about football and you must be open to start playing to create our identity’.
“Since the first day, I felt the players understood the things we want from them. It is not just about tactics, it is about energy also. Happiness. We are very happy in this moment.”
On Matheus Cunha: “He is a special player. When he feels the happiness inside, when he is himself, he can create. Today he played a fantastic game. IOt shows he is committed with us, with his team-mates, with everyone.”
On fans chanting his name: “It is difficult to imagine. Sometimes I lose my focus in the game because I want to thank them. This is the connection since the first game. It’s something special that I didn’t expect. I had it in other clubs but not like this.”
On expectations: “We need to finish this season in the best position we can and show our spirit, identity and ambition. We have the ambition to win the next game.
“I saw a lot of things in football. With the full spirit, helping each other and with confidence, we can just think about the next game. Now it is time to recover and enjoy a bit.”
🗣️ “I’m still waiting”
