Leicester City 0 Leeds United 1 HT 0-0
Rutter (58)
This was a massive win on Friday night over the championship leader, great way to start the weekend!!
Leeds United ended Leicester City’s nine-game winning run in the Championship with an impressive victory at the King Power Stadium.
Joel Piroe went close in the opening moments for Leeds while Leicester’s Abdul Fatawu hit the bar 11 minutes before half-time in a tight first half.
Leeds were the better side after the break and took a deserved lead when Georginio Rutter converted from close range after Sam Byram’s header from a corner was palmed away by Mads Hermansen.
Substitute Kelechi Iheanacho had a late effort blocked for the Foxes before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s stoppage-time header forced a superb first save from Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier.
Leeds, who came down from the Premier League with the Foxes last season, cut the gap between the two relegated sides to 11 points and consolidated third place in the table.
Hopefully we can continue the form and results now to push for one of the two automatic promotion spots.
Marching On Together.
League position 3rd after 15 games
