Faes fires late winner as Leicester sink Sheffield Wednesday amid protests

In the opening game of the season, Leicester City, under new manager Martí Cifuentes, came from behind to defeat Sheffield Wednesday 2-1. The match was marked by protests from Sheffield Wednesday fans against the club's ownership. Sheffield Wednesday took an early lead, but a late header from Leicester's substitute Wout Faes sealed the victory for the visitors. Cifuentes acknowledged the difficulty of the Championship league, stating that the win was a "good lesson" for his team, and that they cannot take anything for granted. The result represents a positive start for Cifuentes as he aims to guide Leicester back to the Premier League after their relegation last season.
