James Maddison scored two first-half goals as Leicester City beat promoted Nottingham Forest 4-0 on Monday to move off the bottom of the table with their first Premier League win of the season.

The home victory in the East Midlands derby lifted some of the pressure off Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers. The Foxes, who had taken one point from their first seven games and were the only winless side in the top flight, moved ahead of Forest on goal difference.

The visitors could have taken the lead against the run of play in the 22nd minute when a Taiwo Awoniyi shot bounced back off the post, but Leicester were 2-0 up with the King Power crowd roaring five minutes later.

Maddison broke the ice with the first in the 25th minute, his shot from just outside the box deflected in off the arm of Forest defender Scott McKenna, and Harvey Barnes doubled the lead two minutes later.
