Leicester City Makes It Six Win In A Row Since Claudio Ranieri Sack

Goals from Islam Slimani and Jamie Vardy gave Leicester a sixth straight win as they beat relegation-threatened Sunderland 2-0 on Tuesday. Slimani's header from fellow substitute Marc Albrighton's cross put the champions ahead on 69 minutes, just moments after both had been introduced in the second half.

Albrighton repeated the act with 12 minutes remaining setting up Vardy for a trademark finish inside the area just moments after Victor Anichebe had hit the post with a deflected effort.

The result means bottom side Sunderland are eight points off 17th-place Swansea, while Leicester are now 10th as Craig Shakespeare preserved his 100 per cent record since taking over from Claudio Ranieri.
