Dewsbury-Hall 'levels above' Championship after rescuing Leicester upon EFL return

The Foxes were playing their first game of the new season after relegation from the Premier League last term.

Facing Coventry at the King Power Stadium, Dewsbury-Hall scored a late double to earn a 2-1 win following Kyle McFadzean's opener for the Sky Blues.

It meant that Leicester's EFL campaign got off to a strong start, despite not having things entirely their own way during the 90 minutes.

As for Dewsbury-Hall, he was the star of the show and the caliber of his display did not go unnoticed.

After losing stars such as James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Jonny Evans and Youri Tielemans this summer, the stage is set for the 24-year-old to become a real star under Enzo Maresca.
