Former Leicester winger Matt Piper praised Stephy Mavididi and Abdul Fatawu for their parts in the Foxes' 2-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday:
"They were both excellent, but Mavididi was unplayable for a 30-minute spell in that first half.
"Valentin [Sheffield Wednesday's right-back] is a good player, but Mavididi absolutely had him on toast. He went past him, came inside, got a couple of shots off and nutmegged him.
"When you're a winger, your main objective to beat your full-back one on one. [When you do that] the confidence levels you gain, you feel like you can close your eyes for a second and still keep the ball, you feel like you can do anything. The only thing he didn't do is score, he was brilliant tonight.
"Fatwau wasn't quite as good but still outstanding, I thought."
On the pair's defensive contributions, Piper added: "Playing in the system that Enzo [Maresca] plays, you need a winger that's going to work. There's no point in playing this system if you've got a Riyad Mahrez on the wing, it can't happen. There's too much room.
"These two seem to have the energy, desire and skillset to do it. Defending is a skill, you've got to be brave. I hope we sign Fatawu and make him permanent at the end of the season, he's a top player.
"It's going to be really important next season [if Leicester get to the Premier League]. We're not going to have as much possession."
