67 h. ago Wout Faes fires late winner as Leicester sink Sheffield Wednesday amid protests

Martí Cifuentes has cleared his first hurdle as Leicester manager. The former QPR coach took the time to do a lap of the King Power Stadium while his players warmed up, introducing himself to the home supporters. A late header from his substitute Wout Faes ensured that those fans went home happy – but for much of a testing opening game against Henrik Pedersen’s Sheffield Wednesday, who have had to face plenty of obstacles before a ball was even kicked this season, that looked an unlikely outcome.For Wednesday, it was an achievement to even be here. Placed under a transfer embargo by the Football League because of late payments, they have only 15 senior first-teamers on the books and cancelled their final pre-season fixture, against Burnley, after the players refused to play. They and the staff were paid their outstanding July wages on Friday after solidarity payments from the Premier League came in. Continue reading...

Martí Cifuentes has cleared his first hurdle as Leicester manager. A late header from his substitute Wout Faes completed a comeback victory but for much of a testing opening game against Henrik Pedersen’s Sheffield Wednesday, who took a first-half lead amid fan protests against the club’s ownership, that looked an unlikely outcome.

4 d. ago Hirst’s late penalty earns Ipswich draw with Birmingham in Championship opener

The last club to secure promotion from League One to the Premier League in successive seasons were ill-prepared for their sudden rise to the summit of English football; it was merely a happy accident of an excellent managerial feat. So it is no surprise that Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich are back in the Championship at the first opportunity.Should Birmingham City emulate Friday night’s opponents, they have no intentions of following the same path. Every bold statement to emerge from the club over the summer makes it abundantly clear that this period in the second tier is expected to be brief. Sights have been set high and, on the basis of this performance against opposition that took points off the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham and Aston Villa last season, it is easy to see why.
