Blackburn Rovers 1-4 Leicester City: Jamie Vardy on target as Foxes win at Ewood Park

Leicester regained top spot in the Championship with a hard-fought win at Blackburn.

Jamie Vardy's brilliant goal had edged the Foxes back in front at Ewood Park after Sammie Szmodics capitalised on dreadful defending to equalise Wout Faes' early header.

Rovers refused to lie down, however, and it took a late penalty from Kelechi Iheanacho and a fourth from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to secure the victory.

The win made it eight league wins from nine for the Foxes as they took full advantage of rivals Ipswich and Preston dropping points on Saturday, to move two points clear at the top of the table.
