Match report: Town 2 - 3 Leicester City

Oct 6 2008 By Doug Thomson

Andy Butler saw one header punched away and another fly just wide before Fryatt sent Glennon the wrong way from the spot to double the lead.

But credit to Town for fighting back, with Martin blocking Roberts’ close-range shot with his right leg before being wrongfooted when the ex-Ipswich man’s drive hit Hobbs.

Rugged Steve Howard thought he had put Leicester 3-1 up in the 73rd minute when he shot home after Glennon parried King’s shot, only to be ruled offside.

And within four minutes Town were level when Dickinson headed Goodwin’s looping cross into the top left-hand corner.

But Leicester had the last word to stretch their lead to three points.
