Leicester go through
First-half goals from Michael Morrison and Lloyd Dyer saw Leicester advance to the fourth round of the Carling Cup at the expense of 10-man Portsmouth who they beat 2-1.
A late Liam Lawrence goal set up a tense finale at Fratton Park following Richard Hughes' straight red card but Leicester held on.
Both clubs have struggled so far in the npower Championship but Paulo Sousa's side have saved their best performances for this competition and it proved to be the case once more.
Leicester started brightly and Dyer had already forced Jamie Ashdown into a parrying save when Morrison turned the ball home from close range after three minutes.
Dyer, the architect for the first goal, then got on the scoresheet himself two minutes before half-time with a low, left-footed shot from the edge of the box.
Hughes was sent off for dissent after 66 minutes before Lawrence made for a tense finish when he prodded home after Conrad Logan could not hold Joel Ward's shot eight minutes from the end.
