WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Leicester beat West Brom to boost top-four hopes

Three unanswered first-half goals gave Leicester City victory over West Bromwich Albion which strengthens their hopes of finishing in the top four.

Jamie Vardy wrong-footed Sam Johnstone to open the scoring after 23 minutes at King Power Stadium, before Jonny Evans doubled Leicester's lead three minutes later with a firm header against his former club.

Fine work from Vardy allowed Kelechi Iheanacho to score his eighth goal in six league appearances to give the Foxes a 3-0 half-time lead.

Leicester dominated possession in the second half and came closest to adding a fourth when Iheanacho forced Johnstone into a smart save with a low free-kick eight minutes from time.

The victory, which secures Leicester's first league double over West Brom since 1993/94, also keeps them third in the table on 59 points, four clear of Chelsea and West Ham United. 

West Brom stay 19th, nine points from safety with six matches to play.
