A 4-3 result does two things at once.
For Martin, that immediate lift is significant. Results shape the noise around any head coach, and an attacking return of four goals is the kind of outcome that can steady nerves after a tense spell. The report says the victory eased pressure, and that alone gives the afternoon extra weight.
There is an obvious positive in scoring four away from home, whatever the level of opposition. Leicester appear to have shown enough attacking threat to win a chaotic contest, and that matters for a side trying to build confidence.
But conceding three also keeps the bigger questions alive.
That balance is likely to define the immediate reaction. A win helps, but a wild scoreline rarely ends debate completely.
Managers under pressure do not always need perfection; sometimes they just need a result. This looks like one of those moments for Martin. The margin was narrow, the game sounded frantic, but the headline remains the same: Leicester reportedly won.
The next step is the important one. If Leicester can follow this with a calmer, more controlled performance, the noise around Martin may continue to fade. If not, this may be remembered as a welcome escape rather than a genuine turning point.
