How the Foxes Dug Deep to Overcome Leicester

Harvey Barnes' Injury Woes Continue as Foxes Continue Unbeaten Run

Harvey Barnes limped off the pitch in the second half of Leicester City's 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with manager Brendan Rodgers confirming that the winger has suffered a new injury setback. Barnes has been plagued by injuries this season, and this latest setback is a blow to both the player and the club.

Despite Barnes' injury, Forest secured a memorable victory over their East Midlands rivals thanks to a brace from Brennan Johnson. The Foxes had taken the lead through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, but Johnson's goals turned the match on its head.

Johnson's Brace Downs Foxes

Johnson opened the scoring for Forest in the 23rd minute, capitalizing on a mistake by Leicester goalkeeper Danny Ward to slot home. The 21-year-old doubled his tally just before the hour mark, finishing off a fine team move with a clinical strike.

Leicester fought back gamely, but they were unable to find an equalizer. Barnes' injury added to their woes, and they were ultimately unable to break down a resolute Forest defense.

Foxes Continue Unbeaten Run

Despite the defeat, Leicester remain unbeaten in the Premier League this season. They have drawn three and won two of their opening five matches, and they will be looking to continue their good form when they travel to Brighton next weekend.

Forest, meanwhile, have now won two of their opening five matches. They will be looking to build on this when they host Bournemouth next weekend.
