FT: LEICESTER 2-0 SWANSEA. A deserved three points for the home side who are now off the bottom for the first time since November, and now lie level on points with Hull. Goals from Ulloa and King were the difference, but Leicester were made to sweat after missing a number of chances throughout.

GOAL! 2-0 LEICESTER. And that, is that, you'd have to say. Esteban Cambiasso's free kick is fumbled by Fabianski and Andy King is the first to react to fire home from inside the six yard box. Three points, and three wins on the spin for Nigel Pearson and his men.
84'
Mahrez so direct and impressive since he's come on, works some space for his left foot 20 yards out and his low drive on goal is parried behind by Fabianski. Morgan heads the resulting corner wide. The amount of chances they've created they should be out of sight.
82'
Mahrez makes an excellent run through the middle of the pitch and finds Vardy just inside the penalty area but his shot his high and wide. Still Leicester can't double the lead as we enter the final ten minutes.
78'
NO PENALTY! Vardy bears down on goal and is brought down inside the area under a strong challenge from Ashley Williams but Lee Probert sees nothing wrong with it and waves play on.

SUB: Olivera off, Emnes on.

SUB: Kramaric off, Drinkwater on. Leicester looking to get another body in midfield, and this is Drinkwater's first appearance since January.
73'
CHANCE! Jamie Vardy runs through and Leicester have a two on one opportunity with Mahrez on the overlap. The timing of Vardy's pass is excellent but he puts too much weight on it and Fabianski is able to get to the feet of Mahrez and deny the second goal.
72'
Leicester's intensity has dropped a touch here and Swansea are beginning to look probing in attack. Dyer immediately into the action on the right hand side.

SUB: Routledge off, Dyer on. Can the winger save the game for the Swans?

SUB: Ulloa off, Mahrez on. The goalscorer makes way as we enter the final 25 minutes.
66'
CHANCE! Nelson Olivera comes close to equalising but Kasper Schmeichel makes himself big and claws a hand out to stop the stiker's shot, before Shelvey then fires an effort straight at the Dane.

SUB: Ki off, Montero on. Change of tact from Monk here - Swansea to take a more direct approach now you'd think.
58'
Free kick for Swansea but Siggurdson sends it harmlessly over.
55'
CHANCE! Another missed chance for Leicester. Jamie Vardy hangs a cross onto the head of Ulloa who gets enough pace on his effort but sees it land onto the roof of the net. Might be two or three but it's still only one.
53'
Shelvey forces a decent save from Schmeichel. Cracking atmosphere here now, and it's become an end-to-end game.
50'
Swansea's defence is all over the place. Kramaric runs at pace and Swansea stand off, the January signing's shot curls wide of the far top corner though. A second goal is coming you feel, they need to make this dominance count now.
48'
CHANCE! Albrighton once again comes close to doubling Leicester's lead. Andy King swings the ball in from the left and the winger cushions the ball with his chest but his right foot shot screws just wide of the post. They've carried on where they left of have the Foxes.
46'
KICK OFF! And the second half is underway in Leicester.

HT: Leicester 1-0 Swansea. A very good half that from the home side, full of intensity off the ball and tempo on it. Leonardo Ulloa's 15th minute goal the difference so far, and you'd fancy Pearson's side to extend it in the second half.
