Farke praises ‘magic’ left foot of Lewis after winner against Leicester

Daniel Farke praised Jamal Lewis magic left foot after his first Premier League goal gave Norwich a surprise 1-0 victory over Leicester at Carrow Road.The Northern Ireland international had not scored for the Canaries since January 2018, but he cleverly fired past goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel to give his side the lead with 70 minutes gone.Leicester did have the ball in the net through Kelechi Iheanachos second-half effort, only for it to be ruled out on VAR review for handball by the Foxes forward.Jamal Lewis, left, netted Norwichs winner after being set up by Max Aarons (Joe Giddens/PA)I think the lads were brilliant today, Farke said.We are playing here in the best league in the world against one of the top sides in the league so it says a lot about the quality of Leicester, but then to be there with such a spirited and committed performance with a deserved win and clean sheet.Its amazing and we just have so many compliments for the lads today.Im unbelievably delighted for Jamal because he had a tough first season in the Premier League. He had to adapt to the level and then was out for 10 or 11 weeks.It was a top-class assist from Max Aarons and then Jamal was able to do some magic with his left foot.Brendan Rodgers Leicester were without top goalscorer Jamie Vardy, who was ruled out just before the game with a calf problem, and the visitors were unable to find the net in his absence, and have now gone five games without a win in all competitions.The Foxes manager admitted he was disappointed with the loss but said Vardy should return soon.(Im) disappointed to lose the game, didnt think we deserved to lose it, Rodgers said.Jamie Vardy missed Leicesters defeat at Norwich through injury (Nick Potts/PA)We are obviously disappointed with the goal that was disallowed. Both players unintentionally handball but worse case scenario for us its a free kick for us.We have no complaints, we arrived into the final third of the pitch with 19 attempts on goals, but didnt quite have that little bit of precision and quality that weve had for much of the season.When asked about the injury to the clubs leading goalscorer, Rodgers said: Hes not out for long, a low grade strain on the calf.Hell be back in, if not for Burnley, for the game against Aston Villa.(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
