In what has been a Premier League weekend full of goals, Leicester City carried on that trend by beating Burnley 4-2 in a goal-filled game at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes came into the game off the back off a 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion, while Burnley overcame Sheffield United on penalties in the Carabao Cup in what was their first competitive game of the season.

Despite Leicester having an extra league game under their belt, it was the Clarets who opened the scoring after Chris Wood outstrengthed James Justin and volleyed into the bottom corner beyond an outstretched Kasper Schmeichel in the 10th minute.

It took the East Midlands side 10 minutes to reply after Timothy Castagne, who made his home debut, laid the ball onto Harvey Barnes, for the young winger to stroke it home into the bottom corner.

Leicester began to run away with proceedings in the second half, starting off in the 50th minute after Castagne's driven cross deflected off Eric Pieters to bounce past the helpless Nick Pope, before Justin converted an Ayoze Perez low ball to notch his first Premier League goal for his side.

Burnley looked to make the final 20 minutes of the match interesting as Jimmy Dunne beat Justin to the ball to head the ball past Schmeichel to score on his debut, but Dennis Praet clinched all three points for his side with a rocket of a shot that flew into the top corner of the net, capping off a successful evening for his side as they sit at the top of the table with two games played.

Castagne continues to impress

The newboy at Leicester City has continued to make a good impression after another stellar performance. The fullback's attacking work caught the eye once again as he created problems for Burnley all game down the right hand side.

His overlapping runs in behind Dwight McNeil caused Charlie Taylor all sorts of problems as the Burnley defender got overrun by blue shirts and their give-and-goes in the corner of the pitch allowed Castagne to get into crossing positions on multiple occasions throughout the match, assisting Barnes for the Foxes' leveller with a cutback, before his cross was turned into the net by Pieters in the second half. 

As Ricardo Periera continues his road to recovery, it will be interesting to see where the Belgian will fit into the side, but Brendan Rodgers will want to keep him in the starting 11 should these performances continue.

Justin loses out in physical battles

Justin has been given the first shot of replacing Ben Chilwell at leftback, and while the young defender has shown plenty of promise going forward, he seemingly struggled with the physicality that Burnley posed in attack.

The former Luton Town player got shrugged off by Wood in the opener of the match, before Dunne's determination to reach the ball before Justin resulted in Burnley's second.

Against physical teams such as Burnley, Justin must attack the ball a lot more in a bid to match up to the attacker's strength as he was seemingly singled out by the Clarets, who directed their crosses into his direction in order to exploit his lack of stature.

Going forward however, Justin was potent and was well worth his first Premier League goal as he tucked into the box to connect with the low ball.

Leicester caught Burnley at a good time

While it has been well documented that Leicester have had issues in squad depth in the opening weeks of the season, Burnley's already limited squad was even more depleted due to injuries as they missed key men such as Ben Mee and the much sought after James Tarkowski, meaning that it was up to the Foxes to capitalise against weakened opponents.

The Clarets did well to pose as many problems for Leicester as they did, but the home side's attack was too much for a second choice backline to handle, with Barnes and Castagne hurting them in particular.

Despite the scoreline, Burnley can take many positives from the match as they await for their star players' return, causing problems for Leicester's defence and dominating portions of the match.
