adminLeonardo Ulloa’s 89th-minute goal extended Leicester’s lead at the top of the Premier League to five points and denied Norwich a deserved draw.
Ulloa slid in at the far post to convert Marc Albrighton’s cross at the end of an otherwise limp Foxes display.
Norwich earlier had the better chances, Cameron Jerome heading wide and Nathan Redmond off target from distance. Leicester had largely been restricted to shots from distance until substitute Ulloa had the final say.
Until the Argentine’s intervention, the Foxes were facing the prospect of losing top spot if either of Arsenal or Tottenham win today — instead they are guaranteed to remain at the summit with 11 games remaining.
Norwich are still outside the relegation places, but level on points with Newcastle, who have a game in hand.
