Leicester gain 2-1 Premier League win at Norwich through Vardy and Schlupp goals
Share
Match in a minute from Carrow Road where Leiecester beat Norwich 2-1 through goals from Jamie Vardy and Jeff Schlupp, Dieumerci Mbokani scoring for Norwich.
Leicester had started well with Vardy and strike partner Shinki Okazaki threatening on the counter-attack and deservedly led as Sebastian Bassong fouled Vardy, who scored the penalty, his 7th Premier League goal of the season, making him the division’s top scorer.
Jeff Schlupp made it 2-0 just after half-time with a classic counter-attacking goal, finishing neatly left-footed across Ruddy.
The Foxes are still seeking their first clean sheet this season after Mbokani notched his first goal for the Canaries– the striker had already hit the bar.
Leicester almost replied immediately as substitute Leonardo Ulloa headed in, but it was disallowed for a foul by Robert Huth on Ruddy.
Norwich pressed for a late equaliser but lacked cutting edge – they travel to Newcastle after the international break, whilst Leicester go to Southampton.
