Given that man mountain Harry Maguire was waiting for the cross, Riyad Mahrez had to be brave to shoot with the last kick of the game in the seventh minute of stoppage time.
He got his reward, beating Bournemouth’s Asmir Begovic with a brilliant free-kick and rescuing Claude Puel from an uncomfortable inquest into Leicester’s poor form.
It was further proof of why the club valued Mahrez at more than £80million when Manchester City came calling in January. Yet if they think that saga is over, they are sadly mistaken.
Mahrez is a transfer wrangle waiting to happen.
