Resurgent Norwich City made it four home defeats on the bounce for Leicester City with an impressive win at the King Power Stadium.

Anis Ben Slimane and Ali Ahmed struck in the second half as the Canaries dominated, having initially been kept at bay by a fine goalkeeping display by late stand-in Jakub Stolarczyk.

The Foxes, who have now gone nine Championship games without a win and remain in the bottom three, rarely threatened, although they were boosted by the return of Jordan James as a substitute after more than five weeks out with an injury.

Norwich have now won seven of their past nine to greatly ease their own early-season relegation fears.

But Leicester's troubles continue after another limp home display which followed more fan protests aimed at the club ownership.

The Foxes had the first real attempt on goal as Harry Winks's 25-yard strike almost took Vladan Kovacevic by surprise, but Leicester's persistent defensive frailties were clearly evident as the game progressed.

Mathias Kvistgaarden was left unmarked to head into the side netting and then the Foxes centre-backs parted invitingly for Paris Maghoma to stride down the centre of the field and bring a fine save from Stolarczyk.

The keeper was only called into the team after Asmir Begovic injured an ankle in the warm-up, and he was in the right place again after more dazzling, persistent work by Maghoma ended with the former Brentford man having his shot beaten away.

The outstanding Maghoma was taken off just after the hour mark with questions remaining about his match fitness, but his replacement Ben Slimane instantly forced Stolarczyk into another excellent stop.

The big Pole could do nothing a few minutes later, however, as Sam Field fed Ben Slimane in the box and he quickly shifted his feet to create a shooting chance and the Tunisia midfielder, who was a late fitness doubt, found the bottom corner.

Norwich pressed home their advantage as Leicester looked increasingly ragged and, when Kellen Fisher's cross was cut out, substitute Errol Mundle-Smith was on hand to drive the ball across the face of goal, where Ahmed reacted first to steer home the second goal.

Leicester manager Gary Rowett told BBC Radio Leicester:

"It was very disappointing [after two draws] and the way we attacked in those two games.

"There were some real positives from those games. Maybe away from home there is less pressure on the players but I expected a little bit more energy about the performance.

"We were waiting for something to happen in the game, everyone looking around and waiting for a team-mate to do something instead of doing something themselves.

"The two goals sum up this season. It's been too easy to score against us, and I have to do something about that. The first one we allowed them to come inside and create the chance quite easily and the second is a cross into the box that should get cleared."

Norwich head coach Philippe Clement told BBC Radio Norfolk:

"I'm pleased with the performance and the dominance for the whole game. If we could have scored in the first half we could have released ourselves a little bit faster, but we did in the second half.

"I'm proud of how the team took the game tactically, physically, technically and mentally. Everyone showed hunger and desire to get the three points, but in our way, with our football.

"You see a lot of joy on the pitch, when we score, when we do good things. Everybody is living the story, also the players who are not playing are all involved in the same way as when they are on the pitch."

On Ben Slimane: "He was very, very close [to not playing]. He did a warm-up, had tests to make to see if he was ready to play in the game, and the amount of minutes. He said he felt OK and I believe my players."
