Late Dyer strike sinks Boro
Lloyd Dyer's late strike handed Leicester a 1-0 win over Championship promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough at the Riverside.[LNB]Leicester boss Nigel Pearson, who captained Boro to two promotions and three domestic cup finals during four years there as a player in the mid-1990s, saw his side eke out their first away win in the league since clinching promotion in May as midfielder Dyer fired home into the bottom corner from 12 yards in the 83rd minute.[LNB]Leicester owed victory as much to goalkeeper Chris Weale's brilliant fingertip save to deny Boro substitute Mark Yeates' goalbound shot in the closing stages, but the Teessiders have only themselves to blame for taking just one point from their last three matches.[LNB]Neither side troubled the opposition goalkeeper in an uneventful first half.[LNB]Matt Oakley's early effort was blocked by Boro's Sean St Ledger, in his third game for Gareth Southgate's side, and the former Preston defender later hurled himself in front of efforts from Dyer and Matt Oakley to avert any danger.[LNB]Boro went on the offensive early in the second half, with Jeremie Aliadiere's header gathered by Weale while Marvin Emnes dragged a shot wide but Dyer's strike proved decisive.
