Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Richard Stearman hand Wolverhampton Wanderers a 2-0 half-time lead over Leicester City.

Wolverhampton Wanderers lead Leicester City 2-0 at the interval of their Championship clash at Molineux.

It was the away side who had the first real chance of the match after eight minutes, but Wolves goalkeeper Carl Ikeme just beat Jamie Vardy to the ball when the striker was through on goal.

Leicester again came close moments later, but Ikeme denied Andy King from close range with a smart save.

Wolves took the lead against the run of play after 13 minutes when Sylvan Ebanks-Blake ghosted unmarked into the box to thump a header past Kasper Schmeichel.

It might have been 2-0 five minutes later, but Schmeichel made a fine save to deny a Kevin Doyle effort from rattling into the top corner.

Wolves did score from the resulting corner, however, when Richard Stearman volleyed a powerful effort past the Leicester stopper.

Leicester continued to probe in the latter stages of the half, but Ikeme was on hand to produce a host of smart saves.

David Nugent almost handed the away side a way back into the match in the latter stages of the half, but he fired over from just inside the box.
