Leicester City 2-1 Coventry - Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scores two late goals to snatch victory

Leicester City midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck two late goals as the relegated Foxes began life back in the Championship by beating luckless Coventry City.

Last season's beaten Championship play-off finalists looked on course for a deserved three points when they led through Kyle McFadzean's 47th-minute opener from a near-post corner.

The Gus Hamer-inspired Sky Blues also wasted good chances either side of the City skipper's strike.

But Mark Robins' men were made to pay when Dewsbury-Hall levelled on 77 minutes before being fed by new signing Stephy Mavididi to curl home an 87th-minute winner - and earn victory for new Foxes boss Enzo Maresca, in his first game in charge.
