Half-Time Report: Leicester City still lead playoff tie

Leicester still lead playoff tie

Leicester City have a 2-1 aggregate lead at half time in the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final with Watford.

The Foxes made a bright start to the game, as David Nugent looked to set up Anthony Knockaert, before the visitors appealed for a penalty, believing that Joel Ekstrand may have handled the ball.

However, it was the home side that scored first, with Matej Vydra volleying the ball in from an awkward angle to cancel out Leicester's first-leg advantage.

Watford were level for just four minutes, though, as Nugent climbed high to head in from a Matthew James corner.

Troy Deeney had a chance to add a second for the Hornets, but Kasper Schmeichel was able to collect the ball before he got his shot away.

There were more chances for Watford as half time approached, but they could not find the back of the net again before the break.
