WHO'S GOING TO BE YOUR

MAN OF THE MATCH?

Albrighton edges Leicester past Norwich

Marc Albrighton's 76th-minute strike earned Leicester City a second victory of the season as they beat Norwich City 2-1 at Carrow Road.

Jamie Vardy put Leicester in front after eight minutes, sweeping in from Ricardo Pereira's cross. The striker was then denied a second by Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul.

Norwich equalised a minute before half-time through Teemu Pukki's penalty, awarded after a Video Assistant Referee review for a foul by Caglar Soyuncu on Pierre Lees-Melou.

Both sides spurned chances early in the second half, with Pukki heading straight at Kasper Schmeichel, while former Canaries midfielder James Maddison shot wide from a tight angle for Leicester.

Albrighton restored Leicester's advantage, producing a fine first-time finish after being played in by Vardy.

Norwich thought they had a late equaliser from Kenny McLean's header, but it was disallowed for Todd Cantwell being offside.

Leicester move up to eighth on six points, while Norwich sit 19th after three defeats.
