Leicester won 2-0 at Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon, securing their third away league victory of the season so far. It was a well deserved victory, with City dominating possession and forcing more efforts on goal than their opponents. The victory moves Leicester up to 3rd place in the Championship table, as Middlesborough and Hull both lost at home, to Bristol City and Burnley respectively. Jeff Schlupp deservedly retained his place at left-back, despite the fact that Paul Konchesky was 100% fit. It was another superb display from the youngster and Konchesky will find it difficult to force his way back into the side. Marshall replaced Knockaert on the right-hand side of midfield and Vardy played in place of the injured Nugent. Otherwise, it was the same team that demolished Ipswich at the King Power Stadium a week ago.
In the 41st minute, Danny Drinkwater scored the first goal for the Foxes. It was an excellent finish from the edge of the penalty area, into the bottom right-hand corner of the net. City continued to dominate the match and squandered several opportunities to extend their lead. However, 15 minutes from time, former Sheffield Wednesday loanee Ben Marshall finally secured all 3 points for City. It was a superb goal, a left footed finish from outside the box, into the top left hand corner of the net. Next up, another trip to Yorkshire to take on Leeds United at Elland Road on Tuesday night. Nigel Pearson's men will certainly be confident of another positive result.
