Win shot Leicester above relegation zone

The former English Premier League champions shot their noses in front when Benjamin Nelson leapt above Bristol City defenders to head home Jordan James’ well taken free kick in the 13th minute.

Moments later Stephy Mavididi struck the upright after a perfect set up by Fatawu Issahaku in the Bristol City area.

With 28th minute played, Fatawu Issahaku latched onto a loose ball at the far post and blasted his effort past Bristol City keeper Radek Vitek.
