Leicester had two shots on target and scored each time.
Both, admittedly, came from Stoke City errors in possession. First from Ashley Phillips and then from Bae Junho, but that might actually bolster the case that the Potters were the better side in this one.
The second goal was the real killer, right on half-time but Stoke had enough of the ball and enough chances in the second half to take at least a point.
That they did not leaves them looking to bounce back from two successive defeats but far from disheartened.
Everyone who follows the club knows that Stoke need to be more clinical in front of goal if they are to allow their consistently-outstanding defence the luxury of being able to make the odd error, but on the balance of play they have probably been a clear second best in just two or three games this season.
