Terriers Outfoxed!

Leicester City 2 - 1 Huddersfield Town

Leicester notched up their fifth consecutive home league win to beat a spirited Huddersfield Town team this afternoon. City took the lead in the 11th minute after superb work down the left hand channel by Nugent. He found Vardy, who hammered an excellent, right footed shot into the roof of the net. Both sides then had several good chances to score in an open and entertaining match. In the 38th minute, Knockaert's corner was headed into his own net to double Leicester's lead. At that stage, City looked very comfortable and should have taken complete control of the game.

To their credit, Huddersfield continued to fight and, in the 67th minute, substitute Scannell broke through and forced Paul Konchesky into an error. The full back, on his 100th appearance for the Foxes, deflected the ball into his own net. Huddersfield pressed for an equaliser and might have found one had their striker James Vaughan kept his cool. The striker thought he was fouled by City centre back Wasilewski. When the whistle failed to go, Vaughan pushed Wasilewski to the ground with a two handed shove. He received a straight red card and the visitors' momentum dissipated. City saw the game out comfortably from that point on and secured all three points to consolidate third place in the table.
