# Leicester City: Ben Chilwell sends Foxes teammates a message following cup win

**It’s been a phenomenal week for Leicester City, recording [the joint-largest Premier League victory](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50092694) in history with a 9-0 thrashing of Southampton, followed by reaching the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup last night.**

The Foxes have been playing with their tails up recently, [scoring 12 goals in two games](https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1DVJR_enGB846GB846&sxsrf=ACYBGNSbkxmhP_RGYzfgXOwzFX75CfEBCQ%3A1572434951951&ei=B3S5XfLeOYqFhbIPtb6ZUA&q=leicester+city+&oq=leicester+city+&gs_l=psy-ab.3..35i39l2j0i131l2j0l2j0i131j0i131i20i263j0i131l2.5603.6983..7301...0.0..0.71.972.15......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i22i30j0i324.AXWHTmEuu4c&ved=0ahUKEwiy_vjV8MPlAhWKQkEAHTVfBgoQ4dUDCAs&uact=5#sie=t;/m/01rlzn;2;/m/02_tc;mt;fp;1;;), with their latest cup victory coming at the expense of Burton Albion.

Youri Tielemans put the ball on a plate for Kelechi Iheanacho to open proceedings before the Belgian himself made it 2-0, slotting a comfortable side-footed effort past Kieran O’Hara to put Leicester firmly in control.

Burton’s Liam Boyce then grabbed a goal back, adding some nerves for the second half, only for England midfielder James Maddison to put the result beyond doubt in the final minute – capping off a routine 3-1 victory.

Ben Chilwell, who opened the scoring in Leicester’s 9-0 romping at the weekend, didn’t travel with the squad for their cup tie – likely being rested for the Foxes’ trip to Crystal Palace – but did send a[congratulatory message](https://twitter.com/BenChilwell/status/1189303069428912128) upon yet another smooth win.

The England left-back reached out to his teammates, simply stating: “Brilliant tonight boys!”.

Brendan Rodgers’ side have made a flying start to this campaign so far, currently sitting third in the Premier League after recording six wins already this season – including particularly impressive victories over Spurs, Newcastle and, of course, Southampton.

Some [pundits](https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-pundits-deliver-verdict-3435385) have tipped Leicester to break the top six this season, while a Champions League qualifying place could also be on the cards judging by their performances so far.

It’s a long, hard season ahead – but the above is certainly looking possible at this rate.
