Gabriel Sara struck first for the Canaries after 20 minutes, but Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall leveled the score just 13 minutes later with a close-range effort. Stephy Mavididi then gave Leicester the lead after halftime with a well-executed finish, outmaneuvering Jack Stacey.
Jamie Vardy secured the win with a third goal in stoppage time. This victory, only their third in eight league matches, catapulted Leicester back to the top of the table, pending results from later games involving Ipswich and Leeds.

I’m thrilled, primarily because winning the game was crucial. Secondly, in the past six or seven games, we haven’t had many victories for various reasons. So, it’s a significant boost to get this win, and the players displayed great mental strength, especially after falling behind 1-0, which isn’t easy. Their response was fantastic.
Every game from now on will be crucial, but losing to Bristol City didn’t add any extra pressure. Our focus remains on taking it one game at a time.
What’s especially pleasing is how the players maintained their composure and stuck to our game plan despite any distractions or noise. Their belief in what we’re doing was evident, and the reward was the three points.
