James Maddison scored twice as Leicester City moved up to third in the Premier League table with a 3-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion.
Jamie Vardy hit the post in the 26th minute, but within 60 seconds the striker laid a James Justin cross back to Maddison, who scored with a low, deflected shot.
Vardy doubled the lead in the 41st minute, converting another centre from Justin.
And three minutes later, Maddison curled in a brilliant third from Vardy’s pass after a flowing move.
Brighton's best opportunities came early in the first half, as Kasper Schmeichel made saves from Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Danny Welbeck before Leicester took control.
Leicester are on 24 points, one behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, while Brighton stay 16th on 10 points, two above the bottom three.
