Leicester reignited their bid for automatic promotion to the Premier League with a 3-1 win at home against Norwich, putting them back on top of the Championship table. Goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Stephy Mavididi, and Jamie Vardy helped the Foxes come back from a goal down to secure the victory. This win was crucial for Leicester as they aim to secure one of the top two spots for automatic promotion, with Ipswich and Leeds close behind in the standings.
Leicester manager Enzo Maresca emphasized the importance of the win, especially at this stage of the season. Despite a recent dip in form with only three wins in their last eight games, Maresca praised his team’s mental strength after conceding an early goal. The victory over Norwich was a much-needed confidence boost for Leicester as they continue their push for promotion to the Premier League.
Norwich, on the other hand, suffered a setback with this defeat, leaving them in sixth place in the Championship. The Canaries are still in contention for a playoff spot that could lead to the third and final promotion spot, but they will need to regroup after this loss. Gabriel Sara’s early goal gave Norwich hope, but Leicester’s strong performance in the second half turned the tide in their favor.
The match saw Leicester’s Dewsbury-Hall, Mavididi, and Vardy all finding the back of the net to secure the victory. Former England striker Vardy, who was a key figure in Leicester’s Premier League title triumph, sealed the win with a powerful strike in stoppage time. The Foxes will look to build on this result and maintain their position at the top of the Championship table as they strive for promotion to the Premier League.
