Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
Leicester are well set to move top of Europa League Group C.
Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
Harvey Barnes has been a threat from down that left side but his final ball has often been disappointing.
This time he does pick out Patson Daka with a driving run forward, but the Zambia striker mis-cues from 10 yards out.
Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
And Legia almost pull another goal back on the stroke of half-time.
Centre-half Mateusz Wieteska gets forward for a corner and glances a header at the near post, but Timothy Castagne retreats to clear at the back stick.
Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
What are Leicester doing at the back??
Daniel Amartey decides to try and shepherd the ball back to Kasper Schmeichel, but neither Foxes player gets to it.
It allows Ernest Muci to nip in but a shot is cleared off the line by Caglar Soyuncu.

Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
Legia goalscorer Filip Mladenovic is booked by the ref as he feels his side should be awarded a corner.
He takes his protests too far and the man in charge Deniz Aytekin is having none of it.
Leicester 3-1 Legia Warsaw
Leicester have been shaky at the back this season and will need to keep their wits about them.
Yuri Riberio shapes a nice cross into the area which Mahir Emreli meets, but a looping header is caught on the boundary by Kasper Schmeichel.
Wilfred Ndidi
Zero to hero.
Wilfred Ndidi makes amends for conceding the penalty by heading in from six yards out following James Maddison's sumptuous corner.
But you have to say it is calamitous goalkeeping from Cezary Miszta, coming off his line, getting nowhere near the ball, punching fresh air and conceding his third of the night.
Leicester 2-1 Legia Warsaw
Oof, this was close.
Ernest Muci drifting in from the left and a well struck drive takes a nick off Daniel Amartey and lands into the side-netting.
Kasper Schmeichel was very worried.
Leicester 2-1 Legia Warsaw
Another good opportunity for Legia as Ernest Muci sees his shot from the right blocked.
The ball falls onto the edge of the box but Yuri Riberio pokes a disappointing shot straight at Kasper Schmeichel.
Leicester 2-1 Legia Warsaw
Leicester need to regather themselves. And sharpish.
Filip Mladenovic
A huge cheer, turns quickly to silence.
Mahir Emreli steps up to take the penalty which is SAVED by Kasper Schmeichel diving the right way.
But unfortunately for him, the ball drops into the danger area and Filip Mladenovic reacts quickest to pop the ball into an open net.
Game on.
Leicester 2-0 Legia Warsaw
2-0 in front but Leicester are giving Legia a leg-up here.
Wilfred Ndidi raises his hand in the box and a deflection strikes his palm, the referee has no hesitation in pointing to the spot.
Leicester 2-0 Legia Warsaw
The good news for Leicester is that they are top of the group.
The bad news is that they have to get a result in Napoli in the final game to guarantee a passage through to the knockout stages.
James Maddison
But this time he does get his goal.
It's a little beauty from James Maddison, exchanging passes with Ademola Lookman.
The Englishman makes his way into the area and a 'Cruyff' turn baffles two Legia defenders, opening up the space for Maddison to fire a thunderous, left-footed finish into the net.
Leicester in total control.
Leicester 1-0 Legia Warsaw
A second goal will set things up nicely for Leicester.
James Maddison sees a strike blocked and so does Boubakary Soumare.
Leicester 1-0 Legia Warsaw
Legia have offered little attacking threat so far but Filip Mladenovic does whip in a good delivery from the left though no visiting player can convert.
Leicester 1-0 Legia Warsaw

Leicester 1-0 Legia Warsaw
The reason you want to avoid coming second in the Europa League this season is that you have a play-off round against a team who drop down from the Champions League.
Finish top and you advance straight through to the last-16 stage.
Leicester 1-0 Legia Warsaw
A reminder that as it stands, Leicester leap to the top of the group, having started bottom.
