Starting the match under heavy fog, the Moroccan international stood out by providing two crucial assists in the first half: the first for Stephy Mavididi in the 35th minute, and the second for Buonanotte in the 38th. These assists came at a pivotal moment, especially after QPR\u2019s equalizer in the 18th minute, which was orchestrated by a creative team play involving Ilias Chair. Inspired by that goal, Chair and his teammates began to believe in their chances of pulling off an upset, but El Khannouss\u2019 brilliance soon tilted the game in Leicester\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n\n<p>At just 20 years old, El Khannouss, who joined Leicester last summer, was named Player of the Match (POTM) with 51% of the votes. Substituted in the 60th minute after completing a strong performance, he continues to showcase the immense potential that attracted the English club. Leicester advances in the FA Cup, and El Khannouss, who is on a rapid rise, promises many more standout performances this season. Unfortunately for Ilias Chair and QPR, their FA Cup journey ends here, but the performances of both Moroccan players left a lasting impression in this thrilling encounter.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Leicester City v Queens Park Rangers | Third Round | Key Moments | Emirates FA Cup 2024-25\" width=\"755\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nu8GIhBoWi4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Let&#39;s have your POTM for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LEIQPR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">#LEIQPR<\/a>! \ud83d\udc47<\/p>&mdash; Leicester City (@LCFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LCFC\/status\/1878108845009952773?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">January 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leicester City cruised to a commanding 6-2 victory over QPR in the 3rd round of the FA Cup, thanks in large part to an exceptional performance from Bilal El Khannouss.
