Andy King scores in the tenth minute to give Leicester City the lead at half-time against Brighton & Hove Albion.

An early strike from Andy King has given Leicester City the lead at half-time against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Championship.

The hosts started well and were ahead in the 10th minute when David Nugent evaded a number of Brighton defenders before finding King, who fired his effort past a helpless Tomasz Kuszczak.

Leicester's early goal was a sign of the one-sided affair that was to come in the first half, as Brighton struggled to enjoy any extended periods of possession.

Kuszczak had to be alert to keep the deficit to just one when he reacted well to keep out a long-range strike from Anthony Knockaert.

Despite a number of promising set-piece opportunities towards the end of the first half, Kasper Schmeichel's confidence to collect the ball in a crowded penalty area ended any hopes of a Brighton equaliser before the break.
