Russell Martin pinpoints Leicester City difference in Bromley win

Leicester City manager Russell Martin says his side have worked on starting games well after scoring inside four minutes against Bromley on Tuesday night.

City thrashed the League One strugglers at Hayes Lane on Tuesday night in their best display of the season so far. Will Alves put the Foxes ahead early on before John Lundstram and Luke Thomas put them 3-0 up before half-time.

Emil Riis added a fourth in the second half to help the Foxes move up to 10th in the table. Tuesday night's game was only the second time that Leicester have scored inside the first 10 minutes in League One this season.

In the 3-1 loss to Peterborough United two weeks ago, Leicester started terribly and were three goals down by the break. Following the win in the capital on Tuesday night, Martin insisted that work had been done on making sure his side start games with confidence.

"We spoke about it a lot," he said. "Together, the players and staff, we're trying to work out strategies to really help us start games better because we haven't started games well enough on the whole.

"But tonight, it makes such a difference when you score first. When we score first, with the players we have in that pitch, then teams have to come after you and hunt you a little bit.

"If we can then find the openings in the space between the units, then it's a really big thing for us. We were able to do that and we capitalised on it."
