Steve Cooper will be a relieved man after masterminding a first Premier League win as Leicester City manager against Bournemouth at the weekend.
The 1-0 win courtesy of Facundo Buonanotte’s thunderous strike handed Leicester City a crucial first league win in their bid for survival this season.
Steve Cooper is yet to win over the Leicester fan base since taking over from Enzo Maresca in the summer and the pressure was mounting prior to the win over Bournemouth.
However, those three points took the Foxes up to 15th in the table and with Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town Leicester’s next three opponents they have a real opportunity to get more points on the board.
