This Week In History: Stunners From Hume, Fuchs, Ghezzal & Barnes

On 25 August, 2007, a new era was underway on Filbert Way as Martin Allen's Foxes secured their maiden victory of the 2007/08 Championship campaign.

While the season would end with relegation, following the appointments of both Gary Megson and then Ian Holloway, optimism remained high in the early months.

Despite summer signings including DJ Campbell, Stephen Clemence, Bruno N'Gotty and Radostin Kishishev - among several others - City were winless after two matches.

The visit of Watford, though, would see everything click into place for Allen and his large Leicester squad, starting with a magnificent effort by Iain Hume from distance.

Campbell's close-range striker - the former Birmingham City man's first for the Foxes - doubled their led, before Alan Sheehan and Mark De Vries struck to seal a 4-1 success.

Elsewhere, more recently, on 28 August 2018, Claude Puel was the City manager for the visit of Fleetwood Town to King Power Stadium in the League Cup.

The Foxes had won two of their opening three matches in the Premier League in 2018/19 and they headed into this encounter with the Cod Army after a last-gasp victory at Southampton.

An outrageous half-volley from Christian Fuchs got City up and running before Vicente Iborra's header, a cool finish from Kelechi Iheanacho and a long-range scorcher from Rachid Ghezzal.

A year later, on 24 August, 2019, the Foxes were just getting started in what would come to be the Club's second-best ever campaign in the Premier League era, ending with a fifth-placed finish.

Following successive draws against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea, Brendan Rodgers' men headed to Bramall Lane to tackle Chris Wilder's newly promoted Sheffield United.

Boyhood Sheffield Wednesday fan Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for Leicester in south Yorkshire, but the home side were level just after the hour-mark through Oli McBurnie.

City continued to press, though, and they got their reward eight minutes later as the ball looped into the air and invited Harvey Barnes to send a crashing half-volley flying into the top corner.
