Leicester dominated Blackburn with a commanding 4-1 victory, reclaiming the top spot in the Championship on Sunday.

In a historic encounter between two former Premier League champions in the second tier, the Foxes, under the guidance of Enzo Maresca, secured their eighth win in nine league games.

Wout Faes opened the scoring for the visitors, but their lead was short-lived as Rovers' leading goal-scorer, Sammie Szmodics, swiftly equalized.

Jamie Vardy, showcasing a return to form, netted his fourth goal of the season before halftime to reestablish Leicester's lead.

In the last 10 minutes, Leicester secured the points with Kelechi Iheanacho's successful penalty and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's astute finish. This loss marks Blackburn's fourth defeat in five games, sending them down to 18th place.
