FULL-TIME. That's it. Swansea were revitalised for the last ten minutes, but Leicester were really the better side. It was a game affected in terms of quality by the pouring rain, but Riyad Mahrez can't blame the weather for his poor second-half penalty. Still, the champions did enough to take all three points. Thank you for your company this afternoon.
90'+3
The Swansea players' shirts are now transparent with rain, and we're fortunate that nobody has been hurt in these poor conditions, to be honest.
90'+2

Drinkwater is offside. There's a joke to be made about his name and the amount of rain on the pitch, but I can't quite think of it.
90'+1
So Leicester break, dancing through the puddles, and Mahrez takes too many touches and fires wide.

Leicester defenders are aquaplaning, and Simpson turns the ball behind for another Swansea corner.
90'
Poor corner from Montero, but not helped by the puddle he had to steer the ball through off the turf.
89'
Montero swings in a ball from the left towards McBurnie, and Swansea are piling on the pressure.

The conditions here are really really wet now. The visibility is terrible and every single player is soaked through. The ball isn't travelling well because of the amount of standing water.
86'

McBurnie comes on for Cork - that's Swansea's final substitution.

Good goal, that. Real lift from Fer, and Morgan should really have done better than that.

GOAL! Now, that makes the last ten minutes interesting! Leroy Fer nods Barrow's good floated cross in.

Okazaki leaves the field, replaced by Ulloa. He's rewarded with a warm ovation.

And...some of the floodlights give up the ghost. Fans have got their phone torches switched on. Helpful.

Musa replaces Albrighton.

Then Leicester break, with Albrighton, Mahrez and Okazaki linking up once more.
73'
Barrow still bright, but Fuchs beats him to Montero's ball in.
