Jamie Vardy scores from the penalty spot as Leicester beat a dogged Bristol City to return to the top of the Championship.
Jamie Vardy scored from the penalty spot as a dominant Leicester beat a dogged Bristol City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium to return to the top of the Championship.
Leicester smothered the visitors with 19 shots to their five - none of which were on target - to keep their first clean sheet at home in 17 games and move back to the summit of the league.There was an element of déjà vu from when these sides last met in the league in 2012-13, with Pearson then on the touchline, Matty James in the starting 11 and Andy King on the substitutes' bench - albeit all three were representing Leicester rather than Bristol City.
The Robins' defence held firm though and they ended the half fairly strongly with two set-pieces that allowed them to put the ball in the hosts' box and get a first shot away. Vardy finally scored the crucial goal in the 67th minute from the penalty spot, rubbing salt in the wound of Bristol City supporters by running to the away end to celebrate.
