Leicester City took all three points with a 2-0 win over Plymouth Argyle, the damage done in a frantic finish to the first half. Two goals in the 45th minute left Plymouth with too much to do, and Leicester controlled the game from there.
William Alves opened the scoring just before the break, with Louis Page providing the assist, and Harry Howell doubled the lead moments later to make it 2-0. Plymouth had been booked twice before the goals, Xavier Amaechi and Jayden Joseph both going into the book, but they could not stop Leicester's late first-half surge.
The stats underlined Leicester's dominance: they had 67% possession, 18 shots to Plymouth's 12, and an expected goals figure of 1.76 against 0.38. Plymouth did force three saves from the Leicester goalkeeper, but with only one big chance and seven offsides, they never really threatened a comeback.
