Jamie Vardy and James Maddison scored as Leicester beat bottom-club Watford to climb back to second in the Premier League.
After a goalless first half, Vardy fired the hosts ahead from the penalty spot after Adam Masina had fouled Jonny Evans.
Maddison then made sure of the win in stoppage time, breaking away before slipping the ball past Ben Foster in the Watford goal.
The win moved Leicester back above Manchester City into second place, eight points behind leaders Liverpool who hammered Everton 5-2.
It was also Leicester’s seventh consecutive top-flight win, equalling a club record that was set in March 1963 and surpassing any run they were able to manage in their title-winning season in 2015-16.
Defeat, meanwhile, leaves managerless Watford bottom of the table and they are now seven points adrift of safety after Southampton beat Norwich to move out of the relegation zone. (BBC)
