PREMIER LEAGUE RETURN: RYAD MAHREZ SHINES WITH A BRACE AGAINST SUNDERLAND
The Premier League is back, and Ryad Mahrez wasted no time in reminding fans of his talent. The Algerian winger played a decisive role in Leicester City’s opening day victory over Sunderland, helping the Foxes begin the season on a high note.
Playing at home, Leicester dominated much of the match and came away with a 4-2 win. Mahrez was at the heart of the action, scoring twice in the first half. His first goal came in the 18th minute with a well-placed header from a Marc Albrighton cross. Just seven minutes later, he was brought down in the box and confidently converted the resulting penalty (25′), securing his first brace of the Premier League season.
Mahrez’s performance builds on his strong pre-season form and his excellent finish to the previous campaign. Leicester fans will hope this is a sign of things to come as they look to make their mark in the league.
