Watford came from a goal behind to end a six-match winless streak with a 2-1 victory over Leicester City at Vicarage Road.

The Foxes took the lead on 37 minutes thanks to a header from Riyad Mahrez, who was found at the back post by Marc Albrighton.

Watford equalised just before half-time when Molla Wague scored from close range on his first Premier League start.

Kasper Schmeichel turned a cutback from Abdoulaye Doucoure into his own net on 65 minutes to earn Watford the win.

The Hornets remain in 10th position, on 25 points, while Leicester are two points and two places better off.
