Highlights: Leicester City 3-0 Ipswich Town

City Strikers Sink Ipswich

Leicester City 3 - 0 Ipswich Town

Goals from Jamie Vardy, David Nugent and substitute Chris Wood secured a comfortable 3-0 win for Leicester City over Ipswich Town at the King Power Stadium this afternoon. The visitors barely threatened Kasper Schmeichel's goal and managed just one effort on target during the whole match. Leicester were 2-0 up by the half hour mark and barely needed to move out of second gear in keeping Ipswich at bay. The opening goal came in the 19th minute. Jay Tabb's poor back pass was anticipated by Vardy who intercepted, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home from the tightest of angles. The goal optimised the remarkable improvement in Vardy this season - alert, quick and ruthless in front of goal. 

Vardy was instrumental in Leicester's second goal. He chased a long ball into the corner and found De Laet. The full-back's initial cross was cleared but the Belgian defender was gifted a second bite of the cherry and crossed for David Nugent to knock home his 50th career goal for Leicester City. The Foxes were not as fluent in the second half in terms of their attacking play but they were able to restrict Ipswich to limited and speculative attempts at goal. Three minutes from time, substitute Chris Wood netted the third goal after racing onto James' pass and slotting the ball low to the goalkeeper's right. The Foxes march on and extend their unbeaten run to 13 games. They sit on 71 points, ten clear of 3rd placed Derby County.

Foxes Fightback at Forest!

Nottingham Forest 2 - 2 Leicester City

Leicester scrapped their way to a draw at the City Ground tonight - having trailed 2-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining and having been reduced to 10 men with more than half an hour left on the clock. Leicester started fairly brightly and took the lead just before the half hour mark when Jamie Vardy slotted home a right footed shot from outside the area. However, City conspired to throw their advantage away before the interval. Paterson headed home the equaliser for the hosts from a corner in the 39th minute. Less than 4 minutes later, Forest took the lead from the penalty spot after a clumsy foul by Wes Morgan. Reid made no mistake from the spot. 

Just before the hour mark, Konchesky was shown a straight red card for a late foul near the corner flag. It felt like it wasn't going to be Leicester's night. Ten minutes from time, Paterson brought down Drinkwater in the box and City had a penalty. Substitute Phillips missed the spot kick only for fellow substitute Riyad Mahrez to turn the ball in and rescue a point for the Foxes. It was certainly a point gained rather than two points dropped given the way the match panned out. Leicester's unbeaten run is extended to 12 games and they open up a crucial ten point lead over Derby County in third place. With two home games up next, City will be hoping to at least maintain that advantage, if not extend it further.

Highlights: Leicester City 2-2 Watford

Leicester Loot Late Leveller

Leicester City 2 - 2 Watford

Leicester recovered a two goal deficit to snatch a 2-2 draw at the King Power Stadium this afternoon and extend their unbeaten run to 11 league games. Watford's opening goal was fortunate. Deeney's 9th minute shot was going well wide of the goal when Forestieri dived forward to deflect the ball past a stranded Kasper Schmeichel. The striker couldn't have known much about the goal and the ball could have ended up anywhere. However, replays did show that the goal was on-side and that the linesman, despite protestations from the Leicester players, had made the right decision. Five minutes before the break, Murray's long range effort found the bottom corner of the net and the Foxes were two goals behind. 

Leicester are a more resilient team this season and they immediately found a way back into the match. De Laet's cross from the right found Matty James near the penalty spot, who steered the ball home with his first touch. It was an important goal for the hosts, coming just two minutes before the interval. Phillips', Mahrez and Wood all made substitute appearances in the final quarter of an hour as City strove for an equaliser. Just as it looked as if Leicester had left it too late, Danny Drinkwater fired home with a superb volley from 25 yards. It was a point gained rather than two points lost and the Foxes now have a ten day break before the rearranged trip to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday 19th February.

We Win Every Week!

Bournemouth 0 - 1 Leicester City

It is difficult to find enough superlatives to describe the run that Leicester City are on. Nine consecutive league wins - a club record. Five consecutive away league wins - another club record. Kevin Phillips, who scored the winner today, is now the oldest goalscorer in the club's history. Records are tumbling in Leicester's relentless pursuit of Premier League status and it is becoming harder every week to see how anyone is going to stop them. The Foxes are ten points clear of their nearest challengers QPR and 13 points clear of Burnley in third place. 

Leicester were good value for their win with 23 shots at goal to Bournemouth's 12. Playing conditions were difficult, with the pitch needing to be rolled before kick off and an early pitch inspection at 8:30 this morning. Understandably, City were not at their fluent best and it had the feel of a game in which one goal would decide the outcome. That goal was scored by Kevin Phillips in controversial circumstances. In the 81st minute, Knockaert crossed to the corner of the six yard box to the head of Phillips. The veteran striker nodded the ball back towards the centre of the goal and, after some deliberation from the linesman and the referee as to whether the ball had crossed the line, the goal was awarded. The Foxes march onwards and upwards.
