Caretaker manager Mike Stowell believes the future is bright for the next permanent Leicester boss after a 3-1 victory over Burnley.
Howe damning with faint praise of Burnley's exertions
Caretaker manager Mike Stowell believes the future is bright for the next permanent Leicester boss after a 3-1 victory over Burnley, which left Eddie Howe less than happy.
David Nugent scored the Foxes' second against the club where he spent a successful season on loan, after Paul Konchesky's early goal had been cancelled out by Ross Wallace.
Nugent, who scored six goals while on loan from Portsmouth, nodded home shortly after the half-time interval after good work from Paul Gallagher.
And the former Blackburn man would wrap up all three points from the penalty spot after Andre Amougou was adjudged to have fouled Andy King in the area.
The victory not only represents a first, and most probably last, under the temporary management of Stowell and Academy chief Jon Rudkin, but moves the Foxes up to eighth place in the Championship.
Stowell said: "We're extremely pleased. It's hard work getting three points in this division. To a man they were absolutely fantastic, excellent.
"There's potentially a fantastic squad here, a great template. It has got everything there in place for the right man to take on."
The club's Thailand-based owners, Asia Football Investments, dismissed former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson after a 3-0 home defeat to Millwall and have communicated their desire to have a new face in charge before Sunday's visit of Leeds.
Stowell added: "Winning games is the best feeling in the world. The players want to win and do well for Leicester City and we're very pleased with what they've given us."
Howe deflated
Deflated Clarets boss Howe was damning with his faint praise of Burnley's exertions.
The Clarets overcame the blip of defeat to Barnsley a fortnight ago to win two consecutive games against Coventry and Blackpool, but have now dropped to 17th place.
Howe said: "At least it was a good spectacle for everybody. I felt we had competed for a large part of the first half, we passed well, we moved well.
"Unfortunately we've conceded, from our point of view, poor goals.
"They do have quality players but I didn't think there was a great deal between us. We haven't had a consistent run of results and there's nothing we can do but look forward to Saturday (at Bristol City)."
