Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scores twice as Leicester make it nine wins out of 10 and return to the top of the Championship.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored twice as Leicester City made it nine wins in 10 Championship games by beating Preston North End to return to the top of the Championship.they overcame third-placed Preston's resistance with Dewsbury-Hall netting either side of Kelechi Iheanacho's side-footed effort from six yards.
Stephy Mavididi fed a superb ball through to Dewsbury-Hall in the box, but he was foiled by a superb block from Liam Lindsay and that was as close as Leicester came before the break, despite enjoying 75% of the possession. And after Dewsbury-Hall opened the scoring, he and Ndidi combined to give Iheanacho - sent on to replace Jamie Vardy - an easy finish from six yards.
"In the first half they frustrated us a bit, we didn't get many chances with their two banks of four but then at half-time we changed formation."It was a really rewarding win and a great game for us to get a bit of daylight between us and third [place]. There's a certain way of playing against that sort of team, you have to be patient.""It was definitely harsh.
