In the 14th minute, Maddison made a free kick from the left, and Vardy headed the goal by the slightest. 1 minute later, Barnes's midfield pass instantly penetrated the opponent's left defense line, but Vardy's right-footed shot was rejected by Henderson.

Nottingham Forest could have taken the lead in the 22nd minute, but Awoniyi's push bounced off the left post, squandering White's precise through. Maddison opened the scoring for Leicester three minutes later: he finished a steal on Lingard in front of the penalty area and shot from a long distance, the ball hit Mckenna's arm and deflected into the net.

In the next 20 minutes, Leicester City continued their dominant performance against Nottingham Forest. In the 27th minute, Barnes scored a long-range shot from outside the penalty area to help the team win another victory. Only 8 minutes later, Maddison extended the lead for Leicester City with a free kick - the ball was drawn into the dead corner of the goal from the right, and goalkeeper Henderson had nothing to do.
