Formidable Foxes are Top of the Tower

Leicester City 2 - 1 Blackburn Rovers

Leicester produced their third successive home league victory to move top of the Championship table, after a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers. Lloyd Dyer opened the scoring for City in the 16th minute after an excellent pass from Andy King. On the stroke of half-time, Leicester were awarded yet another penalty and David Nugent stepped up to give Leicester a comfortable 2-0 lead at half-time. In the second half, City created a plethora of good chances and should have extended their lead. Vardy, King and Nugent all went close. Inevitably perhaps, after spurning a whole host of chances, Blackburn pulled a goal back - Drinkwater conceded a penalty kick and Jordan Rhodes converted for the visitors. City held on though to secure all 3 points and top spot in the league. 

Overall, it was an excellent performance from the Foxes and things are starting to fall into place. Vardy and Moore have been in inspired form so far this season. Experienced players like Morgan, King and Dyer are playing consistently well. Pearson is also making subtle changes to his squad. Experienced Polish international Marcin Wasilewski has signed on a one year contract. The 33 year old has 60 caps for his country and adds a wealth of experience to the squad. Former Wigan trainee Ryan Watson has signed on a one year deal. Finally, it emerged this evening that former Blackpool forward Gary Taylor-Fletcher has been training with the club although no deal has been agreed as yet. An away trip to Blackpool is next up for Leicester. City will be hoping that they can enjoy the view from the top of the tower again on Saturday evening.
