LEICESTER SURVIVE SCARE TO BEAT HUDDERSFIELD

James Maddison's stunning free-kick helped Leicester to overturn a one goal deficit to edge Huddersfield Town 3-1 at the King Power...

Huddersfield came into the game desperate for some sort of points following their slow start to the season and they started off brilliantly.

The King Power was stunned when the Terriers took a 1-0 lead very early on through Mathias Zanka who finished.

Zanka latched onto a loose ball that wasn't cleared well enough by the Leicester defence from a long throw-in and it was exactly the start David Wagner's men needed.

However, it didn't last too long when the Foxes equalised just 14 minutes later through Kelechi Iheanacho.

Iheanacho rounded off a rapid counter-attack from the Foxes to calmly finish beyond Jonas Lossl.

The second-half saw the home side on top and applying the pressure to Lossl in the Terriers' goal.

Maddison's free-kick was unsaveable for Lossl and the Foxes took the lead with not long left in the game.

Leicester extended their advantage quite soon after when Jamie Vardy chipped Lossl and put the game beyond any doubt whatsoever.

Leicester's win means they move up to eighth in the table, whilst Huddersfield drop down to rock bottom following their abysmal start to the season.
