The Story in 60 Seconds

Leicester City manager Russell Martin remains confident his side's fortunes will turn despite suffering a frustrating 2-1 defeat against Stevenage. The Foxes held 72 percent possession and registered 21 shots, but goals from Wanya Marcal and Oliver Sanderson gave Stevenage a two-goal advantage before Emil Riis pulled one back for Leicester.

Martin emphasized that his young squad must maintain belief and keep committing to attacking actions despite repeated shortcomings in front of goal. Josh Holland of Leicestershire Live noted that the performance followed a familiar frustrating pattern seen in previous fixtures, arguing that Leicester's fringe players failed to make a strong case for inclusion in the upcoming match against Peterborough.
