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.

Having performed with some authority today, Faes makes an impressive intervention to stop Rodrigo wriggling clear. To this point at least, Leicester have defended resolutely.

Running on to a throughball from Daka, an off-balance Praet fires well over the bar from the right side of the area. That was no more than a half-chance, but he could perhaps have done better from there.

From the edge of the box, following a corner, Kristensen leans back on a shot at goal and steers his effort over the crossbar by some distance.
