Millwall boss Joe Edwards delivers verdict on ‘brutal’ Leicester City punishment
Millwall’s head coach, Joe Edwards, acknowledged that his team was “brutally punished” by Leicester City after taking the lead but ultimately succumbing to a 3-2 defeat at the King Power Stadium. Millwall had initially gone 1-0 up, but two quick goals from Jannik Vestergaard and Patson Daka, followed by a strike from Ricardo Pereira, secured the victory for Leicester.
Reflecting on the match, Edwards expressed satisfaction with many aspects of Millwall’s performance and highlighted their ability to frustrate Leicester. However, he emphasized the difference in quality between the two teams, noting Leicester’s ability to capitalize on lapses in concentration and ultimately take control of the game.
Despite the defeat, Edwards pointed out the positive aspects of Millwall’s performance, including their defensive efforts and moments of belief and confidence. The match saw Millwall slip to just two places and one point above the relegation zone, while Leicester returned to the top of the table.
Leicester City’s formidable goal-scoring record, with 41 league goals and a goal difference of plus-27, was noted by Edwards, emphasizing the challenging nature of facing a team with such attacking prowess.
