Leicester See Off Bristol City 2-0 as Rowett Earns First Win

The result briefly moved Leicester outside the relegation places pending other midweek games.

Overview

  • Ben Nelson headed in from Jordan James’ free-kick on 13 minutes before Abdul Fatawu volleyed a second later in the first half.
  • Jakub Stolarczyk saved Emil Riis’s 63rd-minute penalty to preserve Leicester’s two-goal cushion.
  • The victory ended Leicester’s league winless run dating back to January 5 and stopped a sequence of four straight home defeats.
  • Bristol City’s slump deepened to three successive league losses and four defeats in all competitions following their FA Cup exit to Port Vale.
  • Head coach Gerhard Struber called Bristol City’s first-half performance unacceptable and said he was really angry, as Riis’s miss marked the club’s first penalty in over a year.
