Foxes fell Tress

29 November 2010 22:30
Aaron Ramsey made his long-awaited return from injury, but another Wales international midfielder stole the headlines as Leicester deservedly defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 at the Walkers Stadium. As the on-loan Arsenal teenager prepared to come on as a substitute for his first taste of competitive football since suffering a broken leg at Stoke in February, Leicester's leading scorer Andy King struck his eighth npower Championship goal of the season after 59 minutes. Roman Bednar was denied a debut goal for Leicester when Luke Chambers blocked his shot a yard in front of his own line and Lee Camp produced a point-blank save to deny the Czech striker's former West Brom team-mate Curtis Davies from the rebound. A misplaced header from Jack Hobbs gifted Robert Earnshaw, on as a 36th-minute replacement for the injured Dele Adebola, a chance. But with just Chris Weale to beat he was quickly closed down by the Leicester goalkeeper and his shot was blocked. There was nothing Camp could do to prevent Leicester scoring just before the hour. Darius Vassell barged his way into the box through a couple of tackles before squaring the ball to King, who had the simple task of sweeping home from inside the six-yard box. At the other end, Weale reacted well to push over a thunderous effort from Nathan Tyson that came through a crowded penalty area in the 75th minute.
