Leicester City continued their fine run of form with an away win down at Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday. Brendan Rodgers’ side have now won five consecutive Premier League games and remain in second place, eight points behind the boss’ former club Liverpool.
Left-back Ben Chilwell, one of a number of standout performers this season, took to social media to express his joy at another victory – tweeting: “Enjoyed that one today”.
Chilwell’s stock as a player is rising and alongside the praise following another impressive performance, these Leicester fans still believe there is more to come from the 22-year-old.
Unreal today my man ?! Getting better and better every game!

What do we think?
Leicester march on and one of the key components to Rodgers’ ever improving side is that they have two full-backs who are not only competent defensively, but also extremely dynamic and effective in the attacking third. When you study Chilwell’s performances in isolation, it’s easy to forget that he’s just 22-years-old.
The left-back has come through the ranks at the King Power Stadium and has already made 11 appearances for England under Gareth Southgate. The Foxes’ lofty Premier League position stands them in good stead when it comes to fighting off interest for their most talented players of which Chilwell is certainly one. There will be a growing feeling of optimism in the East Midlands that if they can keep the group and manager together this team can achieve great things.
