Late substitute Leonardo Ulloa struck an 89th minute winner to give Premier League leader Leicester City a 1-0 victory over struggling Norwich on Saturday.
Ulloa came on in the 78th minute and steered the ball home from close range following a cross by Marc Albrighton.
Leicester forwards Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez have scored more league goals than the entire Norwich team put together, with 33 to 30. But they were kept in check as Norwich played Leicester at their own game, sitting deep and then looking to hit the opposition on the break.
The strategy worked until the very end of the match at King Power Stadium.
Leicester now top the standings with 56 points, five more than Arsenal and Tottenham, which play their matches on Sunday.
