Leicester remian top of the table despite struggling to a 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Crewe.

Leicester far from their best against rock-bottom Railwaymen

Andy King headed the winner to keep Leicester top of the table as they struggled to a 2-1 victory over rock-bottom Crewe. City took the lead after 15 minutes when Lloyd Dyer slipped the ball inside to Matty Fryatt, who scored with a well-placed shot into the top corner of the net from 16 yards. Crewe keeper Stuart Tomlinson then kept his side in the game with a series of brilliant saves before Crewe conjured up a shock equaliser. Michael Morrison hesitated after DJ Campbell had failed to clear, allowing Calvin Zola to steal in and fire home an angled shot from 10 yards. Leicester struggled to rediscover their fluency after the break and had to rely on a winner from midfielder King, who rose above a static Crewe defence after 72 minutes to head home substitute Max Gradel's corner.
