City Strikers Sink Ipswich

Leicester City 3 - 0 Ipswich Town

Goals from Jamie Vardy, David Nugent and substitute Chris Wood secured a comfortable 3-0 win for Leicester City over Ipswich Town at the King Power Stadium this afternoon. The visitors barely threatened Kasper Schmeichel's goal and managed just one effort on target during the whole match. Leicester were 2-0 up by the half hour mark and barely needed to move out of second gear in keeping Ipswich at bay. The opening goal came in the 19th minute. Jay Tabb's poor back pass was anticipated by Vardy who intercepted, rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball home from the tightest of angles. The goal optimised the remarkable improvement in Vardy this season - alert, quick and ruthless in front of goal. 

Vardy was instrumental in Leicester's second goal. He chased a long ball into the corner and found De Laet. The full-back's initial cross was cleared but the Belgian defender was gifted a second bite of the cherry and crossed for David Nugent to knock home his 50th career goal for Leicester City. The Foxes were not as fluent in the second half in terms of their attacking play but they were able to restrict Ipswich to limited and speculative attempts at goal. Three minutes from time, substitute Chris Wood netted the third goal after racing onto James' pass and slotting the ball low to the goalkeeper's right. The Foxes march on and extend their unbeaten run to 13 games. They sit on 71 points, ten clear of 3rd placed Derby County.
