Leicester 2-1 West Brom: Foxes secure pulsating derby win to go top

Leicester City climbed back to the top of the Championship with victory in a dramatic Midlands derby against West Brom at the King Power Stadium.

Goals from Wilfried Ndidi and Jamie Vardy in either half were enough to end a run of successive defeats, despite Jed Wallace halving the deficit 14 minutes from time.

Vardy also missed a penalty at the end of the first half.

Leicester are four points clear of third-placed Leeds with both sides having three matches left to play.

West Brom remain fifth and in a strong position to make the play-offs, but were left to regret a string of missed opportunities, particularly after the break.
