Leicester 0 – 1 Fulham

Aleksandar Mitrovic’s first-half strike was enough for Fulham to beat Leicester 1-0 at the King Power Stadium and move up to seventh in the Premier League.

The sides went into the game in contrasting form, with Leicester losing two in a row following the Premier League’s resumption, while Fulham had taken six points from six.

The opening exchanges went true to form, with the west Londoners dominating their hosts and taking the lead in the 17th minute when Mitrovic lashed the ball past Danny Ward from Willian’s excellent lofted pass.

Leicester grew into the game after their dreadful start and dominated throughout the second half, but could not find a way past the impressive Bernd Leno, meaning they now find themselves just three points clear of the relegation zone in 13th.
