Half-Time Report: Leicester City in control at the break

Leicester City are in control of their Championship clash with Ipswich Town, as goals from Jamie Vardy and David Nugent hand them a two-goal lead.

Leicester City hold a two-goal lead at half time in their Championship clash with Ipswich Town, thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy and David Nugent.

The home side started the game well and could have taken the lead in the fourth minute when Danny Drinkwater lifted a corner into the area and Wes Morgan powered a header at goal, but Dean Gerken was there to make the save.

Ipswich responded to the early pressure when Matty James lost possession on the edge of his own box, allowing Cole Skuse to nip in, but he could only fire his effort wide of the target.

Leicester took the lead when Vardy capitalised on an error from Jay Tabb as his back-pass fell short of Gerken, and the striker ran onto the ball, rounded the keeper and slotted it home.

The Foxes doubled their advantage in the 31st minute when Ritchie De Laet raided down the left and fortunately saw his cross knocked back to him, and with the second attempt he picked out Nugent, who found the net.
