Leicester City secures crucial win
Leicester City ended a 10-game winless Championship run by defeating Bristol City 2-0 at King Power Stadium on March 10, 2026. This victory marks a significant turnaround for Leicester, who had not won a game since January 5th.

In a pivotal moment for Bristol City, Jakub Stolarczyk saved a penalty from Emil Riis, preventing the visitors from narrowing the deficit. This was a crucial save that contributed to Leicester’s first league clean sheet in 31 games.
