Match in Five Sentences: Leicester City lost 2-0 to Charlton Athletic at the King Power. Sonny Carey put the visitors ahead in the 36th minute from Harry Clarke's cross, then Lyndon Dykes doubled the lead in the fourth minute of first half stoppage time. After the restart, Abdul Fatawu won a penalty but Jordan Ayew struck the left post (56.). The Foxes had 21 attempts but hit the target only once, while Charlton mustered five on target from nine efforts. The Foxes drop from 14th to 15th in the Championship and visit Birmingham next, while Charlton rise from 19th to 18th and host Queens Park Rangers next.
Player of the Match: Lloyd Jones dominated his box, making 10 clearances and winning eight aerial duels, plus supplying three key passes as Charlton resisted late pressure.
Stat of the Match: Charlton Athletic produced five shots on target from nine attempts, a clinical edge that decided the contest.
Three Things We Learned: Caleb Okoli's straight red card (15.) left The Foxes a man down early. Charlton's defence racked up 41 clearances, with Jones contributing 10. The Foxes ended with 4.8% shot accuracy and only one effort on target, and Ayew's missed spot kick compounded the waste.
