Leicester City ease to a comfortable 4-0 win at Molineux Stadium. Wolves were hoping to get something from this game after losing 2-1 to Crystal Palace in their previous fixture.

Wolves are now in 19th place, with 9 points from 13 matches, while Leicester sit in 16th, with 11 points from 13.

Leicester found the net first, when Youri Tielemans opened the rout, at 8 minutes. They then scored again, pulling level thanks to a goal from Harvey Barnes in the 19th minute, ending the first half 2-0.

The Foxes continued to pile on the pressure in the second period and were rewarded, when James Maddison found the net on the 65 minute mark. They then scored again, pulling level thanks to a goal from Jamie Vardy, at 79 minutes to make it 4-0.
