The defender was involved in the first goal as he failed to react quick enough to Goncalo Guedes, who bundled the ball home past Danny Ward to give the away side the lead.

Conor Coady provides honest reaction to Leicester defeat
Conor Coady is one of Leicester’s most experienced players in the Leicester dressing room and is seen as a leader to others.
His presence at the back had been reassuring in the first couple weeks of Van Nistelrooy’s tenure but the last two games have seen him form part of a defence that has conceded seven goals in two games.
Robert Huth also provided the nuts stat that revealed the Foxes had shipped 14 goals in their last five.
But, as one of the key figures in the dressing room, Coady stood up strong and admitted the team haven’t been good enough.
Writing on Instagram, he said: “Absolutely nowhere near the level this club demands, this league gives you absolutely nothing and it’s our responsibility to dig deep to find a performance that resonates being a Leicester City player and one people expect…
“Every fixture brings challenges but we have to be strong enough to stand up to it … Only us in Leicester blue can change it.”

Centre-back is an option for Leicester in January, with several cut-price deals available for the Foxes to work on.
Argentine defender Valentin Gomez has also been linked to Leicester and with the January transfer window a competitive market and there being little funds available, Van Nistelrooy and his team may have to think outside of the box to bring in new recruits.
