So it looks like Chris Wilder was not the problem at Sheffield United. Fancy that. In their first match for nearly five years since separating from the manager who inspired their rise from League One to the top flight, the Blades fell to their heaviest defeat in over a decade.
Leicester, eager to solidify their position in the top four, could have won by even more, as Brendan Rodgers’s team utterly outclassed the visitors. Kelechi Iheanacho scored his first hat-trick for the club and Ayoze Pérez chipped in with a fine goal before Ethan Ampadu turned a shot by Jamie Vardy into his own net.
