Leicester must be 'more clinical' - Cifuentes

Leicester City manager Marti Cifuentes said his side must be "more clinical" after their comeback win against crisis-hit Sheffield Wednesday.

The Foxes tallied 27 shots in total during their Championship campaign opener on Sunday, 13 of them on target, but required a late goal from substitute Wout Faes to down their 10-man visitors.

Faes's 87th-minute winner came via Bilal El Khannouss' delivery from one of Leicester's 13 corners, with the sought-after Moroccan playmaker also assisting centre-back Jannik Vestergaard from a free-kick for the equaliser earlier in the second half.

Admitting his new side were "slow" in their ball movement during a first half which saw them fall behind, Cifuentes admitted the second period showed more promising signs in terms of both player positioning and pace on the ball.
