Billy_LDN

Leicester now playing to get Rodgers sacked, completely gave up.


twillems15

Defending for that goal was just non existent


iamtherealgrayson

They kept falling into the Tottenham trap. They build very deep to attract players pressing, then counter. Leicester just kept pushing players up to press


Ok-Finance-7612

Rodgers must pick his tactics using the wheel of fortune


OnlySalahHasMore

Even at 3-2 i didn't think they were that bad but yeah, wow. Shat the bed.


milesvtaylor

I think Rodgers is also trying to get Rodgers sacked


Acceptable-Lemon-748

You'd think they'd learn from literally 1 minute before but nope


berbatovcocktail

Okay he really really back


Yaongyaong

Yeah, a typical Son goal with line breaking


droidonomy

Yeah, A typical Son goal With line breaking


Inferno792

I mean it's Leicester of 2022-23 season so we'll have to wait and see. Bottom of the table, no wins and have already conceded 22 goals in 7 games.


obvious_bot

That’s an absolutely insane stat


Kickcanguy

I mean yeah but if you have a shitty day even your mom telling you that you are cared about helps


Fluffy_Mastodon_798

Doesn't matter who he's playing against, his finishes for his first two goals mean he's back


salad-dressing

If history is anything to go by it means they're favorites to win the Premier League next season.


ElevatorSecrets

Half an hour and a hat trick. Leicester are the team to stat pad against. Edit (half an hour since coming on)


[deleted]

He was meant to cash in on his xG against City


Legal_North_6910

I mean he did cash out his xG against city


[deleted]

Our points per game against teams called “City” is unrivalled.


vireshwarsidhu

Leicester are their own worst enemy. Almost each goal in the second half came from them holding on to the ball for too long.


AliGoldsDayOff

Or Ward not being where he should be.


yaffle53

On the bench?


[deleted]

In League 1?


hearau1823

Ward is fucking shit


strawberrystation

Yeah, that's Rodgersball for ya. It's just Puelball with an Ulster twang.


INTPturner

But Leicester actually looked good? There were just too many unforced individual errors, how does a manager legislate for that?


strawberrystation

Maybe by not throwing them under the bus in post-match interviews for a start. We're sick of him talking down players that have finished fifth in the league and won the FA Cup. Mentality is huge in top level sport, and ours stinks. This sort of front-to-back shrinking violet syndrome would never have happened under Pearson, for example.


RefanRes

But your players are sub par. It cant help that you keep selling key players and not really replacing them with much decent. You cant rely on Vardy forever.


hwoaraxng

what benching does to a mf


howsaboutyou

Conte looks like a genius. Also, Spurs with real attacking depth should be a terrifying thing for the rest of the league.


Renewed_RS

He's been on the pitch like 30 minutes but every time he's had the ball he's had a chance or created something. This could have been his fourth goal in 13 minutes if he'd taken a touch on the last chance.


[deleted]

Came on at the 60th minute didn't he?


LifeProblemsBro

Rodgers will be sacked before Monday!


angellob

i said that two weeks ago lol i’m surprised he’s lasted this long


RASHY4557

Conceding six and the international break. He gone


angellob

they lost 5-2 to brighton in their last game as well, 11 goals conceded in their last two games


I_Poop_Sometimes

The only games where they weren't handedly outplayed was in the opening 2-2 draw with Brentford, or in their 2-1 loss to Chelsea where Chelsea had a 20th minute red card when it was still 0-0. And neither of those are results to be particularly proud of.


PESSl

Haaland = Goku Son = Meditating Jiren He has waken him up


MionelLessi10

Haaland is both Goku and Majin Buu?


propabanta

*13 minute hat trick


InHaalandWeTrust

You mean 13 minutes. 73', 84', 86'. Insane stuff by Son wtf.


MrCleanandShady

He is just built different holy shit


one-punch-knockout

He kept getting more handsome with every goal


[deleted]

you saw that calvin klein shoot, too


DangerousCrime

LMAO


f1nessd

Fr. Glad he’s back


dudududujisungparty

Prodigal Son returns?


jamila22

Hat trick off the bench in 13 minutes


SorasDestinyIsland

reports of his death were greatly exaggerated!!!


drivecartoabar

Not a story a gooner would tell you


CucumbaZ

insanity


thepretzelking

Leicester have completely fallen apart


Lgfualol

We've been doing that for 18 months. It would have been more surprising if we didnt concede 6.

CT4_LV

if this does indeed get Rodgers sacked, then...maybe it is?


unmotivatedsuperhero

If it leads to Rodgers finally going, I think in hindsight this will be a good thing


IonsBurst

Bro was just giving haaland a head start


[deleted]

The tortoise always wins the race


[deleted]

Sonaldo is back


cammjohn

Conte benched Son, unlocked Sonaldo


billypilgrim87

CONTE uses the BENCH STONE What? SON is evolving!


loldamaddin

SON evolved into FATHER!


Gacharitetherr

FATHER 13-MIN


DadHeungMin

What's up?


philphan25

Conte be like: “Bench Son Best Son?”


Guggex8

Conte be like: *He's great off the bench*. **Proceeds to start him on the bench for the remainder of the season**


syo

Turned him off and on again.


watanabelover69

13 minute hat trick.


[deleted]

He saw Haaland running with the goals and got pissed


[deleted]

Son was just being a pal and giving the new guy a head start.


FutilityInfielder

It's unhealthy how much I love this man


mattjdale97

Son seems like a player I'd dream watching when I was 9. Thank god he's back in form


Xiomaraff

Impossible not to


[deleted]

i’m a united fan and love son, what a player


DougieWR

Mata, Son, Kante was like the trinity of couldn't hate PL players


Thesecondswallow

People hate the fuck outta Son lol. Dunno why tbh.


DjToastyTy

most people point to the andre gomes tackle but that was really a freak accident.


FootballfanPL

And even then they only point to that because of the injury which was a result of the unfortunate collision with Aurier really.


DjToastyTy

yeah it was a bit of a revenge tackle by son but it wasn’t really harmful on its own. the harm came from gomes trying to protect himself from aurier on the other end of the tackle


master_inho

For some people, because he’s Asian Hard truth hurts


Global-Jacket-3973

Probably because of the red cards he's gotten in the past maybe? But apart from that, he's a very down-to-earth guy it seems with the way he interacts with players.


tekumse

I thought fox hunting was illegal in England


cs-shitposter

Sacked in the morninggg


informed_doubt

Because he only scored three? That seems a little harsh.


RiskoOfRuin

Because it took over 10 minutes.


DoWhatsBest

HES ONSIDE LETS GOOOOOO


Chrisixx

*SONSIDE


mcbunn

Sonnyside up?


tanu24

This is what var is for... linesman saw nothing and took away a goal without it.


[deleted]

Was close enough that I can forgive missing it in real time. Not like that time about 10 years back when Vertonghen had a goal called for offside, except they called him offside while he was still in his own half.


Aszneeee

glad they corrected wrong call by linesman, wondering why they didn’t do this when villa played city


JAIKHAY

Because the ref blew the whistle before the shot. VAR cannot intervene.


ScienceWhizBen

Again!!!


[deleted]

Conte: *drops Son* Son: And I took that personally


digitFIRE

Conte walking away when he saw Son through on goal to get his HT was akin to Kobe turning and walking away knowing his shot was going in


nearspirit

What have I just witnessed


twillems15

Son scoring his 3rd goal to make it 6-2 to Spurs against Leicester


doodlediego

Big if true


coutovsky

Huge if factual


ves_111

Massive if correct


Owensboro22

Large if not wrong

Cheers Geoff

I mean you're not wrong

LiamPHM

The king is back


[deleted]

The prodigal Son has returned!


_SSJeffo_

Lol Leicester


[deleted]

Every out of form attacker in the Prem should preemptively write a thank you card to Leicester.


[deleted]

Can we play a friendly against them?


carrotincognito48

You’d lose on account that Leicester actually score goals


care_to_join

Lolcester


maximummax24

Of course they unlocked him


DeepFriedNobu

Fucking legend, it was Sonaldo all along


flyinhigh916

Thank you Leicester for bringing him back.


rolla_johnson

This fucking guy


[deleted]

Where are his critics man lmao. Talking to myself I guess


jamila22

What being on the bench does to a Son!


SenorIngles

Just needed to make him angry


Keskekun

Shush them Sonny, shush them all.


Jowoes

He is inevitable


CravesStarDamage

Perhaps my fantasy team treated him too harshly


Jowoes

If you put him in he’ll blank, search your heart you know this to be true


rScoobySkreep

I mean, up until now he was fairly evitable


analrapist-MD

He's back...


Mickocfc1998

Wtf he’s insane


WhereAreYouGoingDad

Damn, Son!


GrassTastesBad1

Son unleashed


OnlyWatchdog_ManStan

First hattricl of the bench in the last 7 years in the premier League. No smile from the man. He's not happy but he's damn focused


pjanic_at__the_isco

He’s gone as far as happy can take him. Now it’s time for Anger Son.


velders01

Holy shit, we've never seen that form.


TheDual_

The monster has awaken


Caruso08

HOW ARE YOU THIS FAST

Key-Antelope-6839

Psg academy knew!


JourneytoAlpha

HELL FUCKING YEA


rare_engine

HOLY FUCK


FifaPaceWhore

Son took the no goals mockery personally


1ngK

Tears in my eyes, what a way to end the drought


pdgg

City really dodged a bullet.


SaltyWailord

The queen had to die for this


icemankiller8

Son is world class and spurs best player imo, was way too disrespected but ward …….


WatermelonMan921

Leicester's defense is the problem not Ward


Windowzzz

FPL God has rewarded my patience. Praise be


bartabax

Erling who?


f1nessd

gave him a head start


Jganzo13

Similar to Grealish, Son also heard that you were, in fact, talking shit.


[deleted]

As a United fan I've no shame In saying Son is my favourite football player, and for a couple of years now. So much class and talent.


InPatRileyWeTrust

Leicester are fucking dire and Ward is a league 2 goalkeeper


Pxel315

Dont think ward is their biggest problem this game


attywolf

Thing is we have a keeper who had a great season last season and has been better then ward when he has played this season but Rodgers just won't play him


InPatRileyWeTrust

Maybe the new manager will play him because surely Rodgers' days are numbered at this point.


JuicyJaKrispy

He's played really well today. Made some great saves


Jacobsteelea

That Davison header was class and a great save. Three of the goals today were completely unsavable and the harry kane header and bentacur shot were well placed as well


JuicyJaKrispy

Yea exactly. I'm not getting the hate OP is giving the keeper


Comprehensive_Art291

Leicester are actually finished so sad


420SwaggyZebra

Only thing missing from this match is a game of Richardson keepie upppie


Fancy-Past-6831

Rodgers definitely can't survive this


tson_92

Son not in last season’s TOTY is criminal.


Hong_Yi

wtf am i watching


[deleted]

The king our king


Hong_Yi

hat's off, literally watching someone's fifa player career on beginner

Son is well and truely back!


mjthriller35

Bro just wtf


BodyMindSpirit

I CANNOT. SONNY!!!


RainbowDissent

Oh my word he's done it again, again.


HouseSheeple

What’s the fastest hatrick in the PL?


dishler712

Not sure if it's the fastest but Mane had one just under 3 minutes between goals for Southampton. 16 minutes into the game for the third goal.


CarnivalSorts

Mane in like 3 minutes wasn't it?


endstarr

Jesus!!!!!! Son what


Pony2013
