Nugent Brace Sinks Ipswich

Ipswich Town 1 - 2 Leicester City

Leicester came from behind at Ipswich this afternoon to secure another away win and move level with Burnley at the top of the Championship table. In the first half, City were atrocious, allowing David McGoldrick to give the hosts the lead in just the second minute. McGoldrick's shot - from outside the box - found the bottom corner and Schmeichel will be disappointed to have been beaten at his near post. The Foxes were rocked by the early goal and weren't able to find any rhythm for the entire first half. Pearson made two changes at half-time, Miquel and James replacing Moore and King. Indeed, James was instrumental in Leicester's second half revival.

Two David Nugent goals in the space of six second half minutes turned the match on its head. In the 51st minute, Vardy's lay-off found Nugent, who delivered a crisp, right footed finish to equalise. Dyer rounded the keeper brilliantly in the 57th minute and squared the ball for Nugent to put City ahead. That goal, Nugent's 13th in 12 visits to Portman Road, was enough to secure all 3 points and send Leicester joint top of the Championship table. Leicester only managed 6 away wins in the whole of last season. Today was their fifth away win of the current campaign - a real indication that, at present, City are on the right track to go one better than they did last season.
