Bottom of the table Peterborough beat high flying Leicester 2-1 at London Road this afternoon. City took the lead early in the second half, Marshall scoring from deep inside the penalty area, after great work from Danny Drinkwater. Petrucci equalised for the hosts in the 74th minute, a fabulous strike into the top corner from outside the box. Grant McCann's winner came in the 88th minute, slotting the ball into the bottom corner. It was a disappointing result and performance for Leicester, particularly as Middlesborough, Watford and Crystal Palace all failed to win this weekend.
No doubt Chris Wood's absence had a huge impact on the team today. He has been City's talisman with 7 goals in 5 appearances since his arrival from West Brom. Vardy and Waghorn are simply not delivering the goods at this level. They cost a total of £4m and have scored 12 goals in 77 games between them. Both had chances today, Vardy to extend Leicester's 1-0 lead and Waghorn to equalise at the death. If Wood's absence is prolonged, it will undoubtedly cost the Foxes points. By the time Wood returns to the side, City will have done well to still be sat in 2nd place.
