Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Leicester City moved off the bottom of the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Leeds United on Thursday, the visitors’ seventh game without a win.
Leicester’s second success of the season was secured inside 35 minutes as Robin Koch’s own goal and Harvey Barnes’s sweeping finish put the home side in command at the King Power Stadium.
Leeds ran out of steam in the second half, with home goalkeeper Danny Ward keeping their only shot on target in the match out when he blocked Liam Cooper’s close-range effort.
Leicester saw out the win with ease to move above Nottingham Forest into 19th on eight points, one point behind Leeds in 16th as Jesse Marsch’s side moved closer to the relegation zone.

With only one minute of stoppage time remaining, Dewsbury-Hall runs the ball out of play inside the Leeds half. A brief tussle ensues with Adams, but it's a half-hearted confrontation as they both know this game's effectively over.

Klich clips a delicate ball over the top for Harrison, around 25 yards out from goal, but Ward was on his toes and sprints from his area to hammer the ball away to safety. The Foxes fans enjoyed that.

Daka kills more precious time, as he draws a foul from a frustrated Summerville deep inside the Leeds half. The game's surely up for Marsch's men, and they'll be going seven matches without a win.

With the ball dropping into a dangerous area by the back post, following Harrison's deep cross, Justin turns the ball behind for a Leeds corner. Yet again, the visitors waste a set-piece situation, as Ward is allowed to claim the cross comfortably on the edge of his six-yard box.
