Ghana defender Jeffery Schlupp scored for Leicester to moved up to fourth in the Premier League with a narrow 2-1 victory over Norwich at Carrow Road on Saturday.

Despite the Canaries dominating the first half, Leicester went ahead through Jamie Vardy's penalty after the England striker was brought down.

Jeffrey Schlupp put the Foxes in control by slotting in a second, before Norwich's Dieumerci Mbokani headed in.

Nathan Redmond struck the crossbar with a rising, angled drive in the closing minutes, but Leicester held on.

Despite a late flurry, the hosts - who slip to 13th place - were unable to find an equaliser and prevent their first defeat in five games in all competitions.
