Leicester 3-0 Brighton: James Maddison nets superb brace while Jamie Vardy gets his 10th goal of the season as Brendan Rodgers' men move up into third and a point behind joint league leaders Spurs and Liverpool

Leicester have moved to within a point of Premier League leaders Tottenham and Liverpool with a comprehensive 3-0 win over Brighton at the King Power Stadium.

An open start to the match saw good chances at both ends, with Kasper Schmeichel making a couple of fine saves and Vardy seeing a shot strike the post.

Leicester then took the lead after 27 minutes when James Justin's cross eluded Vardy and the ball dropped nice for James Maddison, whose shot looked to take a deflection past Mathew Ryan.

The Foxes then doubled their lead when Vardy turned in Justin's cross just four minutes before the half-time interval.
