Leicester City recovered from Ben Wilmot’s early opener to go 2-1 ahead courtesy of Mukasa’s equaliser, followed by Harry Winks’ strike, but a second from Wilmot, late on, saw the points shared at bet365 Stadium, to leave us 22nd in the Sky Bet Championship.

Reflecting following full-time, the 18-year-old believes the Foxes, backed by over 2,800 of the Blue Army, showed enough after the break to claim all three points in Staffordshire. But while it wasn’t to be, there is plenty of positive thinking within the camp, as attention turns towards facing Boro at Riverside Stadium.

He commented post-match: “Even though we started the game second best throughout the first half, I think we came out in the second half and showed a much better performance and deserved to win the game, but that’s not how football goes.

“It’s one to build on. Our past few performances haven’t been poor, despite the results. Regardless of those recent results, the fans have been with us all the way, despite us not giving them what they deserve.

“They’ve stuck with us and we’re going to need them for the rest of the season. We’ve got 13 games left and now we need to go and show them what they deserve to see.”

Scoring in back-to-back Championship games, the young midfielder is settling into life at Leicester well following his January loan move from Manchester City, delivering a mature performance which also included an assist.

“I’ve just put it in a dangerous area and it was a bit of both (a cross and a shot) really but I’m happy it went in,” Mukasa continued, talking through his goal. "I’ve then just set it off to Winksy and he did the rest.

“The Club brought me in for a purpose. Obviously, the team is in a difficult circumstance at the minute, but I’m just here to try and help us get out of that so I’ve just got to keep going.

“I’m really enjoying it. It’s a different challenge to what I’m used to but I’m taking every day as it comes. That’s what I need at the minute, just to get as many games as possible, so I can learn, improve and help the team.”
