Schlupp: Swansea Win Shows Our Togetherness

- The Foxes’ 4-0 win came courtesy of a Leonardo Ulloa brace and strikes from Riyad Mahrez and Marc Albrighton 

- Schlupp explained his side are targeting Barclays Premier League glory, but will continue to take each game as it comes 

The 4-0 Barclays Premier League victory over Swansea City at King Power Stadium on Sunday was evidence of how Leicester City continue to show their togetherness, according to Jeffrey Schlupp. 

The Foxes, without the services of suspended top scorer Jamie Vardy, were excellent against Francesco Guidolin’s men, as they recorded their biggest win of the season. 

While Riyad Mahrez’s early strike and Leonardo Ulloa’s brace had put City 3-0 up, the fourth goal saw three substitutes combine to seal a dominant victory. 

Demarai Gray, Andy King and Marc Albrighton – who all came on in the second period – played a big part late on, as Albrighton grabbed his first goal since the opening day of the season. 

Schlupp told Foxes Player HD: “Everyone from the goalkeeper, all the way through the defence, midfield and up to the strikers and everyone on the bench [works hard]. 

“You saw the gaffer made changes and the players that came on impacted the game really well. You saw what Demarai [Gray] was capable of. He showed glimpses again and you saw that quality. 

“[Marc] Albrighton got the goal and Kingy (Andy King) came on and did his thing. It just shows our togetherness and how hard everyone is working for each other. It’s all part of what we’ve been like all season.” 

The victory over the Swans saw Claudio Ranieri’s men take a huge step towards securing their first ever Premier League title, which will be guaranteed if they win two of their remaining three games, regardless of Tottenham Hotspur’s results. 

“It’s another step forward closer to our goal,” Schlupp added. “It’s not a secret anymore that we’re obviously playing to win it. Everyone up there is playing to win it obviously. 

“We’re finding ourselves at the top of the league so we want to keep winning games and if we keep doing that, we’ll get to our goal. 

“We’ll take each game as it comes like we keep saying, but if we win all our games then we’re there.”
