Outstanding performance
Leicester City•GoalkeeperNorwich City delivered a clinical second-half performance to secure a comfortable 2-0 victory over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium. The Canaries' tactical patience paid dividends after the break, with Anis Ben Slimane breaking the deadlock in the 68th minute following persistent pressure, before Ali Ahmed sealed the points with a close-range finish ten minutes later. Leicester's frustration was evident as they accumulated four yellow cards in a fractious period around the hour mark, disrupting their rhythm just as Norwich found theirs. This result lifts Norwich further away from relegation concerns while Leicester remain stuck in mid-table mediocrity, their inconsistent home form continuing to hamper any promotion aspirations.
