Leicester City returned to winning ways on Saturday, as they secured a close-fought 2-1 victory over playoff-hopefuls West Bromwich Albion.
Enzo Maresca‘s side weren’t at their best yesterday but they took their moments, which has been a rarity over the last few weeks.
Wilfred Ndidi opened the scoring in the first half, following up the rebound to lash home into the roof of the net before Jamie Vardy added the crucial second not long after the hour mark, heading in Abdul Fatawu‘s delicious cross.
The visitors pulled one back through Jed Wallace but despite a late onslaught, Leicester stood up strong and Hamza Choudhury received glowing praise for his display.
