Location: Etihad Stadium
Match Story:
Given how unlikely some of their results were, picking a match from Leicester’s improbable run to the 2015/16 English title was no easy feat. But their February clash with City — at the time, their closest chasing rival and perennial favorites — ultimately stood out from the pack. Despite the Citizens being heavily favored at home and everyone waiting for the Foxes’ other shoe to fall, the visitors got off to a dream start courtesy of Robert Huth’s 3rd minute opener. Huth would add a second in the 60th minute after Riyad Mahrez’s spectacular 48th-minute solo effort. Sergio Agüero pulled one back for the hosts three minutes from time, but it wasn’t enough to over come the Foxes both on this day — and the rest of the season.
Design Story:
The match side features a series of cinquefoil blooms, a flower common to Leicester and present in the city’s coat of arms. The reverse consists of a layered fox print inspired by the club’s most prominent nickname.
