Swansea City 1-3 Leicester City: Foxes bring hosts' unbeaten home record to abrupt end

Swansea City fell to their first home defeat since March after going down at the hands of Leicester City at the Swansea.com Stadium.

Eom Jisung then cut inside to curl an effort into the arms of the keeper as Swansea looked to come out the blocks, while Ronald hit a tame low shot on 10 minutes.

However, Swansea's plans were undone a few minutes later.

Swansea failed to clear their lines from a corner, and Harry Winks knocked the ball on for James, who cut inside near the edge of the area before arrowing a superb strike into the top corner.

Cullen's deflected low effort was comfortably saved, while Jeremy Monga and Wout Faes both spurned
