Stuart Dallas gave Leeds hope immediately after the break and the home side hit the bar and pressed hard before City ran out comfortable winners thanks to Jamie Vardy's strike and a Tielemans penalty. Bamford's wastefulness was surprising given the recent form which has seen some talk of an England call-up, and it was after his first error that Leicester went ahead two minutes in. Brendan Rodgers talked up the "world class" striker on the eve of the game and he did superbly well to drop Koch and get to Marc Albrighton's cross first, with Tielemans on hand to convert after Meslier saved Vardy's diving header.
