Leicester lift pressure off Russell Martin with thumping win at Bromley
The Foxes led 3-0 at the break.
Leicester recorded back-to-back wins for the first time under Russell Martin by recording a comprehensive 4-0 win at Bromley in League One.
Will Alves, John Lundstram and Luke Thomas all scored in the first half before Emil Riis added a fourth in the 67th minute as the Foxes built on Saturday’s win over Doncaster and eased the pressure on their manager.
The visitors led after four minutes when Sammy Braybrooke’s slide rule pass freed Alves to shoot beyond Grant Smith.
One became two inside 16 minutes as Lundstram’s deflected drive found a way past Smith.
Smith produced a double save from Lundstram and Braybrooke as the Foxes looked to kill the contest before the interval.
And the Bromley goalkeeper could do nothing about the third when Braybrooke broke away to cross for Thomas to tap home.
Despite the deficit, Bromley started the second half strong with Kamil Conteh shooting narrowly wide from 20 yards
But it was Leicester who stretched the lead with Braybrooke the architect once again as he drove forward and fed Riis to poke home.
Substitute Liam Cullen looked to curl home a fifth 10 minutes from time but Smith produced a stunning save to deny him.
