King blunts Blades

01 February 2011 22:30
In-form Leicester made it four wins in their last five npower Championship matches as skipper Andy King's 11th goal of the season gave them a 1-0 win at Sheffield United. Wales midfielder King scored the only goal of the game at struggling Sheffield United to ensure boss Sven-Goran Eriksson's target of achieving automatic promotion might not be as optimistic as it first sounded. Defeat was harsh on the Blades, who were on top for the majority of the game but were once again made to pay for some poor finishing, with Foxes goalkeeper Chris Weale also in outstanding form. United boss Micky Adams is still yet to taste victory since being appointed in December but he will take heart from this performance against his former club. Leicester stunned the Bramall Lane faithful by open the scoring just three minutes in when Ayegbeni Yakubu slipped but prodded the ball into the path of the onrushing King, who lifted the ball over Steve Simonsen with a neat left-foot finish.
