Leicester off the mark with victory at Preston
Leicester City suffered its first defeat of the EFL Championship season as it lost 2-1 away from home to Preston North End.
The hosts took an early lead in the seventh minute through Tottenham Hotspur loanee Alfie Devine, who took the ball past Jakub Stolarczyk, after he came out of his box, and finished into an open net.
Marti Cifuentes' side found a leveller in the 67th minute through Jeremy Monga, who at 16 years and 37 days old, became the youngest goalscorer in the competition's history, surpassing Jude Bellingham's record from 2019.
Milutin Osmajic was the hero for Preston five minutes from time when he latched on to a ball from Thierry Small and confidently finished in the centre of the box to win the game.
Preston now has its first win of the season alongside an early slip-up for the Foxes, who are hoping for immediate promotion back to the Premier League.
