davieG Posted 25 September 2014 Posted 25 September 2014 25 Sep 2014HOME WIN AGAINST MAN UTD EARNS LEICESTER THE ACCOLADE The League Managers Association five-man Performance of the Week panel, comprising LMA Chairman Howard Wilkinson, Sir Alex Ferguson, Joe Royle, Dave Bassett and Barry Fry, were in agreement that this week the newly sponsored and longstanding LG Performance of the Week Award should go to Leicester City following their excellent 5-3 home win against Manchester United in the Barclays Premier League on 21 September 2014. The experienced and highly distinguished panel has managed a combined total of over 6,000 competitive matches in professional football. Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson will receive a new specially commissioned trophy made by world renowned silversmiths and LMA Partner, Thomas Lyte of London, in a presentation to commemorate the award. Leicester won the award after a fine second half come back to secure a stunning victory. A brace from Leonardo Ulloa and strikes by David Nugent, Esteban Cambiasso and Jamie Vardy earned the hosts victory where they had trailed 3-1 in the second half. Speaking after the match, Pearson was delighted with the result: "It's massive. Obviously, it's not been an easy journey to come here, and now we are at the top, but it's all about staying here now."
