Ipswich slumped to the bottom of the Championship after being out-thought, out-battled and out-scored by a Leicester side that had previously not scored in the league, writes Derek Davis.

Patrick Kisnorbo headed City ahead after eight minutes and Stephen Hughes put them two up five minutes after the break.

Darren Currie hit a post with a free kick but Town offered little in the way of attack until matt Richards drilled in a deflected 30-yard shot five minutes from the end.

Substitute Iain Hume wrapped things up for the Foxes as he beat Shane Supple in a one on one.

Hundreds of Town fans were delayed or missed the game completely after the A14 was closed near Newmarket - they didn't miss much.
