Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall vs Brentford
Last season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall quietly established himself as a key player for Leicester, but his start to this season was anything but understated.
His 30-yard first-touch shot whizzed past David Raya and into the back of the net after satisfyingly thwacking the post. If you want to see for yourself, go to 0:53 in the video above.
Josh Dasilva vs Leicester
Josh Dasilva, a Bees substitute, curled in this stunning goal six minutes from time to secure the victory.
Dasilva, a sensational young player whose Premier League career has been hindered by a hip injury, was making just his tenth appearance in the top division when he really made a statement.
