A brace each from Harvey Barnes and substitute Jamie Vardy, who replaced Iheanacho on 59 minutes.

Ndidi who made his first league start since January 1st, was also replaced with six minutes remaining in the game.

In the 63rd minute Vardy made it 2-0 from the penalty spot after Tyrone Mings was adjudged to have handled a cross with his arm.

And on 85 minutes Barne grabbed his brace as he slotted his effort beyond Reina’s reach from Marc Albrighton’s cutback.

The win saw Leicester maintain third spot on 53 points in the league table.
