Bristol City 1-0 Leicester City: Anis Mehmeti's thunderbolt damages Foxes' Championship title hopes

  /  autty

Leicester's alarming, ill-timed slump continued on Good Friday as they were beaten 1-0 by Bristol City at Ashton Gate.

With Jamie Vardy having passed up several chances to put Enzo Maresca's side in front, Anis Mehmeti's thunderbolt with 73 minutes gone settled the game in the Robins' favour.

The defeat was Leicester's fourth in a run of six games, where they have picked up just four points, with hopes of the title beginning to slip away somewhat.

The Foxes stay second in the Championship table ahead of the remainder of Friday's action, behind Leeds - who face Watford at Vicarage Road at 8pm, live on Sky Sports Football - on goal difference alone. Bristol City climb to 12th.
