Goals from Paul Konchesky, David Nugent and Paul Gallagher help Leicester overcome Burnley and move into the Championship's top half.

Managerless Leicester City overcame Burnley at Turfmoor this evening to climb into the top half of the Championship.

The visitors took the lead through left-back Paul Konchesky in the 20th minute when the former Liverpool man rifled in a shot from 25 yards.

Ross Wallace equalised for the Clarets three minutes later however, heading home after Kasper Schmeichel's weak punch.

The sides went in level at the break but Leicester took back the lead nine minutes into the second period when David Nugent headed home Paul Gallagher's centre.

Gallagher got himself on the scoresheet from the spot to make it three eight minutes later after Richie Wellens was brought down by Andre Amougou.

The Foxes jump from 14th to eighth while Burnley drop to 16th.
