Leicester beat Sheff Wed to go 12 points clear

Leicester's charge towards the Championship title continued unabated as Jamie Vardy scored against his boyhood club Sheffield Wednesday.

The 37-year-old veteran, out of contract this summer, notched his first-ever goal against the Owls - and his 11th of the season - after Abdul Fatawu had pounced on a dreadful defensive error to open the scoring early on.

That was enough to secure a fifth straight win in all competitions for the leaders and stretch their cushion at the top of the table to 12 points, despite Wednesday, deep in relegation trouble, rallying after the break.
