Championship round-up: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall fires Foxes back to summit

Leicester returned to the top of the Championship as a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall brace helped Enzo Maresca's side beat third-placed Preston 3-0 at the King Power Stadium.

Dewsbury-Hall put the Foxes ahead on the hour mark and, after Kelechi Iheanacho had doubled the advantage in the 76th minute, added his second in the final minute of normal time.

Victory made it five wins in a row and nine out of 10 league games this term for Leicester, who moved back above Ipswich at the summit, two points clear.

Niall Huggins and Abdoullah Ba netted either side of the break before Watford were reduced to 10 men late on by Ryan Andrews’ dismissal.

It was a third successive defeat for the 21st-placed Hornets, a day on from boss Valerien Ismael signing a new contract with the club.

Bashir Humphreys scored the decisive goal in the 83rd minute after Jamal Lowe’s early opener for the hosts had been cancelled out by Gabriel Sara’s header.

Conway opened the scoring in the 81st minute, Tyler Blackett equalised five minutes later, before Conway notched his second in
