Leicester City 2-1 Coventry City: Kieran Dewsbury-Hall inspires turnaround for the Foxes in Enzo Maresca's first game in charge with two late goals

Kieran Dewsbury-Hall helped Enzo Maresca's Leicester City reign get off to the best possible start with a 2-1 win over Coventry City in a fiery East Midlands derby.

Having joined the club from Manchester City - where he was assistant - there were several new faces appearing for the Foxes in Marseca's first game.

However, they fell behind when Coventry defender Kyle McFadzean headed last season's beaten play-off finalists into the lead.

Leicester fought back and homegrown midfielder Dewsbury-Hall equalised after making a great run from midfield to head home.

His second goal was even better as after neat play, he fired an effort into the top right hand corner with his left foot before the hosts held on for the three points at the King Power.
