Some Leicester City fans have reacted with admiration to Marc Albrighton’s Premier League assists record for the Foxes, following the 30-year-old’s performance in Monday’s win over Aston Villa.
He impressively made two assists as Leicester City earned a dominant 4-0 victory over Aston Villa. Albrighton twice linked up with Harvey Barnes to supply the assist for both of the 22-year-old’s goals.
Albrighton, who left Aston Villa to join Leicester City in 2014, has now made a total of 27 Premier League assists for the Foxes. The Premier League’s official Twitter account made a post to acknowledge this stat following Monday’s game, adding that the 30-year-old has now made as many Premier League assists for the Foxes as Riyad Mahrez made during his time at the club.
Some Leicester City fans have been full of praise for Albrighton in response to this tweet. The Foxes’ official Twitter account have also shared appreciation for the player in response to the Premier League’s recent tweet, joining in with praise of their own for the 30-year-old playmaker.

What do we think?
Albrighton has played just 477 minutes of Premier League football for the Foxes this season, according to WhoScored.com. 15 Leicester players have played a higher total of Premier League minutes for the club this season than the 30-year-old winger.
Despite his relatively low number of minutes, Albrighton has now managed to make three Premier League assists for Leicester this season. Only four players have made more Premier League assists for the Foxes. It may be fair to say that Albrighton has made a positive impact for Leicester this season in the 477 minutes of Premier League football he has played.
