Danny Drinkwater scores five minutes before the break to give Leicester City the lead against Sheffield Wednesday.

Leicester City finally turned possession into a breakthrough five minutes before half-time against Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon.

Danny Drinkwater did the damage for the Foxes when he exchanged passes with Ben Marshall before firing home from a tight angle.

Nigel Pearson's side had chances to be further ahead through Jamie Vardy and Martyn Waghorn, who were both denied by some resolute Wednesday defending.

Wednesday offered little in attack and were restricted to long-range efforts from Jay Bothroyd for much of the opening period.
