LEICESTER fans praised their groundsmen\u2019s \u201cdirty tactics.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s after spotting them pronging the turf in front of Sunderland\u2019s goal before yesterday\u2019s Championship clash.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Leicester have made a stunning start to life in England\u2019s second tier following last season\u2019s relegation.<\/p>\n

The Foxes have won 12 of their 13 games under Enzo Maresca, scoring the most goals and conceding the least in the process.<\/p>\n

Tuesday night saw Leicester welcome Sunderland to the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n

The hosts picked up a 1-0 win thanks to James Justin\u2019s 12th minute strike.<\/p>\n

I lived my dream at Newcastle but now I'm unemployed – I still go to training<\/h3>\n

But some fans reckon their groundsmen were to thank for the victory.<\/p>\n

Footage captured before kick-off showed two of Leicester\u2019s pitch staff walking into the penalty area being used by Sunderland\u2019s goalies for a warm-up.<\/p>\n

Armed with prongs, the pair began to prod the turf straight in front of Sunderland\u2019s net.<\/p>\n

This saw the visiting keepers and coaches protest wildly, as they were unable to continue their warm-up.<\/p>\n

But Leicester\u2019s groundsmen brushed their protests aside calmly.<\/p>\n

And as one remonstrated with the Sunderland stars, the other continued digging his prongs into the soil.<\/p>\n

The visiting players and staff eventually gave up, allowing both of Leicester\u2019s pitch members to prod away to their heart\u2019s content.<\/p>\n

Foxes fans were certainly loving the action, with one saying: \u201cLove the dirty tactics from the groundsmen tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another declared: \u201cEveryone hates us, I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n

One noted: \u201cGetting in the way so the keepers can\u2019t train.\u201d<\/p>\n
