Vipotnik strikes as Swansea City climb and Leicester City slip to 23rd | OneFootball

Swansea City beat Leicester City 1-0 at the King Power Stadium, Zan Vipotnik's second half finish dropping the Foxes from 22nd to 23rd and lifting the visitors from 15th to 14th in the Championship.

Ricardo Pereira struck the left post in the 27th minute after Patson Daka's pass as the Foxes made the early running.

Lawrence Vigouroux then denied Daka twice (34., 37.) and held a Harry Winks drive (35.) to keep Swansea City level.

After the restart, Vipotnik guided a right footed finish into the bottom left (53.) from Eom Ji-Sung's break to decide it on the counter.

Following a double change for the Foxes (62.), pressure built from a flurry of corners. A stoppage for an Eom Ji-Sung injury preceded his withdrawal (72.). Jamaal Lascelles later headed narrowly wide (81.) as the hosts chased a leveller.

The Foxes fired 18 attempts and won 12 corners but could not find a way past an organised defence. Swansea City made 35 clearances, and their only shot on target proved the winner. Vigouroux finished with four saves and claimed several high balls.

Next, the Foxes visit Portsmouth. Swansea City host Southampton.
