Leicester vs Norwich LIVE: Championship result, score and reaction as Foxes return to top of the table
Leicester City came from behind to beat Norwich City 3-1 in the Championship on Easter Monday.
The Foxes have been at or near the top all season but had dropped out the top two recently - while Norwich pushed themselves into the top six to harbour real play-off ambitions. It was the Canaries who took the lead early on after a clever corner routine to the near post, but Leicester fought back with goals from Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy to claim the points and move back to the top of the table.

Curled into the corner! Leicester go in front!
Norwich run into bother attempting to play out from the bat, Ben Gibson’s forward pass cut out. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall runs aground on the edge of the box but Mavididi does not, a lovely little bit of skill taking him past a defender and opening an angle to plant a low finish into the far corner to the left of Angus Gunn. As things stand, Leicester are moving back to the top of the table.

Leicester level! A first goal in 11 games for Kieran Dewsbury-Hall, continuing his fine season.
It’s all about the delivery from Wilfred Ndidi. The midfielder picks up the ball on the right and swings in a delightful floated cross, allowing Stephy Mavididi to nod back to Dewsbury-Hall, who converts from close range. It’s 1-1!

A clever corner routine! Gabriel Sara prods home at the near post!Norwich go in front with their first attempt on goal. The set-piece is swept in low by Marcelino Núñez, with Ben Gibson cannily easing Kieran Dewsbury-Hall out of the way at the near post. That opens up space for Sara’s surge to the front stick, and the Brazilian pokes it in!

Leicester vs Norwich LIVE
12:25 , Karl Matchett
A win for the visitors today would send them level on points with West Brom in fifth, ahead of the Baggies’ home match with Watford today. But the Canaries are much stronger at home than away - they’ve only taken five victories on the road so far this term. One did come at Stoke last time out, however.
Leicester have won only one of their last six to slip outside the automatic promotion spots and down to third, but it’s still tight at the top and three points here will see them back into first.
Later, Ipswich are home to Southampton, while the late kick-off sees Leeds host Hull.
The contradiction at the heart of Leicester’s case with the Premier League
12:20 , Karl Matchett
Leicester City already held a unique status with both the Premier League and the EFL. Now they may have another. The only club to win each of English football’s top three divisions in the 21st century – champions of League One; Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal may never sing that – then announced plans to take legal action against both the Premier League and the EFL.
The feelgood success story has become an emblematic failure in an age of suddenly greater regulation and a dramatic recourse to the lawyers. Attention has shifted from Jamie Vardy’s predilection for vodka and Red Bulls to Nick De Marco KC’s capacity to win court cases. Leicester were the 5000-1 shots who won the title. They presumably think the odds are slightly better when they take on the governing bodies.
There may be a contradiction in their case. Trying to argue they are not subject to the Premier League’s jurisdiction presumably brings them into the EFL’s remit. One way or another, the accusation is that Leicester have failed Financial Fair Play; in one division or another, this season or next, it should bring a points deduction. Which, in turn, either further imperils their chances of promotion or gives them an added obstacle to stay up next season.

Willie Kirk sacked as Leicester boss after investigation into alleged player relationship
12:15 , Karl Matchett
Leicester have sacked manager Willie Kirk following an investigation into an alleged relationship with a player.
The Women’s Super League club said Kirk, 45, had “breached the team’s code of conduct to a degree that makes his position untenable”.
Kirk was suspended by Leicester earlier this month, with the club announcing that he was “assisting with an internal process”.
The Scot who was appointed manager in 2022, has not been on the touchline for the past three games while the club investigated a complaint about the alleged relationship between Kirk and a player.

England’s Euro 2024 squad: Who’s on the plane, who’s in contention and who has work to do?
12:10 , Harry Latham-Coyle
Time is running out for England players to impress manager Gareth Southgate and win a place in his 23-player squad for Euro 2024.
England play Slovenia, Denmark and Serbia in Group C when they begin their quest to win the tournament in Germany this summer.
Southgate’s side topped their qualifying group without defeat and are one of the favourites to lift the trophy in Germany on 14 July, given their recent record in major tournaments and the outstanding form of attacking duo Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham this season.
But there are now just a few weeks of club football before the manager decides on his provisional squad on 21 May, and there remains fierce competition for places.
Here is a closer look at who is heading to the Euros, and who might miss out.

Leicester vs Norwich - Enzo Maresca confident his side can handle the pressure
11:40 , Harry Latham-Coyle
Defeat to Bristol City on Friday further threw Leicester’s promotion bid off the rails, Enzo Maresca’s side having let a position of real strength slip. They start a busy Easter Monday third in the Championship table, two points back from Ipswich with Leeds now occupying the second promotion spot, but Maresca has urged the club’s fans to keep backing their side.
“The only thing I said (to the players) is that we are not happy with the defeat because we are never happy with them,” Maresca said after the defeat at Ashton Gate.
“The reaction from them (the fans) is quite normal, you can understand that. Especially in this moment, we need them until the end. They have been brilliant. If they are nervous, the team can feel that and it’s not good for the players.
“We’re in the last eight games and every one is important. The pressure builds when you are at the end of the season and especially in this moment for us, when we drop points and then the table is so close, the pressure can grow a little bit, but it’s also normal.”
