"Slimane came on for the dangerous Paris Maghoma just after the hour and within minutes forced a brilliant save from Jakub Stolarczyk after Ben Chrisene's cross had deflected into his path. But there was nothing the Leicester goalkeeper could do to stop his next effort as Slimane combined with Sam Field on the edge of the area and drilled a fine shot into the bottom left-hand corner after 68 minutes."
"The result extended Leicester's winless league run to nine matches and kept them third-bottom but further strengthened Norwich's bid for survival as Philippe Clement's in-form side climbed 11 points clear of the drop zone."
"Kellen Fisher was allowed time and space from a set piece by a dozing defence to advance and cross, with Stolarczyk deflecting Errol Mundle-Smith's shot across goal to the back post where an unmarked Ahmed poked home."
Norwich secured a 2-0 victory over Leicester at the King Power Stadium, ending Gary Rowett's unbeaten start as Leicester manager. Anis Ben Slimane opened the scoring in the 68th minute after coming on as a substitute, drilling a shot into the bottom corner following a combination with Sam Field. Ali Ahmed added a second goal nine minutes later, capitalizing on a defensive lapse from a set piece. The result extended Leicester's winless league run to nine matches, keeping them third-bottom, while Norwich climbed 11 points clear of the relegation zone with their seventh win in nine league games. Leicester's defensive struggles continued, extending their run without a clean sheet to 29 games.
