90'
FULL-TIME
That's it. It was a bit of a smash and grab, but Leicester City are 2-0 winners at Brighton & Hove Albion.
90'
GOOOAAALLL!!! LEICESTER!
It's 2-0 to Leicester City! With Brighton & Hove Albion throwing everybody forward Jamie Vardy settles it, tapping in Demarai Gray's cross at the far post.
90'
LOOKING FOR MURRAY
Pascal Gross crosses for Glenn Murray but he can't get there and once again Leicester City survive.
90'
FIVE ADDED MINUTES
There will be five added minutes for Brighton & Hove Albion to try and force an equaliser that they would deserve.
90'
Goal
Jamie Vardy. Assist by Demarai Gray (Leicester City)
88'
TIPPED OVER
Solly March's dipping effort from range is tipped over the bar by Kasper Schmeichel.
87'
Red Card
Onyinye Ndidi (Leicester City)
87'
RED CARD!
Well this was always on the cards. Leicester City have been picking up yellows for fun in this game and now Onyinye Ndidi is walking off the pitch after picking up his second and a red. It was a silly foul, one he didn't need to make on Shane Duffy as he galloped forward.
9'
JUST EDGING IT
Brighton & Hove Albion just, but only just, edging it at the moment. They are playing the better stuff but so far neither keeper has been tested.
85'
Substitution
Christian Fuchs (on). Riyad Mahrez (off). (Leicester City)
84'
Substitution
Sam Baldock (on). Beram Kayal (off). (Brighton & Hove Albion)
83'
Goal
Vicente Iborra. Assist by Ben Chilwell (Leicester City)
83'
GOOOAAALLL!!! LEICESTER!
Leicester City lead! Ben Chilwell chips a cross into the back post and Vicente Iborra heads it into the net. Great header. They don't deserve it, but they lead 1-0.
79'
Substitution
Demarai Gray (on). Marc Albrighton (off). (Leicester City)
79'
RAINING YELLOWS
Another tackle and another yellow, this time Gaetan Bong goes into the book after bringing Riyad Mahrez down on the wing.
79'
Yellow Card
Gaetan Bong (Brighton & Hove Albion)
77'
WHAT A SAVE!
Glenn Murray fires to the bottom corner but Kasper Schmeichel guesses correctly and produces a fine save.
77'
PENALTY!
Brighton & Hove Albion have a penalty after Onyinye Ndidi brings down Jose Izquierdo in the box!
75'
Substitution
Solly March (on). Jurgen Locadia (off). (Brighton & Hove Albion)
75'
BIT OF PACE
Chris Hughton injects some pace into the game bringing Solly March on for Jurgen Locadia.
71'
VARDY CHANCE
Fousseni Diabate picks out Jamie Vardy he the box, he pokes an effort towards goal but it's no trouble for Mathew Ryan.
68'
Yellow Card
Harry Maguire (Leicester City)
68'
AND IT WAS ALLLLLLL YELLOW
Another mis-timed challenge and another yellow card, this time it's England hopeful Harry Maguire. Will we finish with 22 players on the pitch?
7'
SHOT WIDE
Jurgen Locadia races onto a ball over the top before slashing an effort wide. Harry Maguire did just enough to put him off.
66'
Yellow Card
Beram Kayal (Brighton & Hove Albion)
66'
ANOTHER YELLOW!
Leicester City look to break but Beram Kayal stops them in their tracks with a professional foul. He has no complaints as the ref shows his third yellow card in three minutes.
64'
Yellow Card
Danny Simpson (Leicester City)
64'
ANOTHER YELLOW
And now it's four in the book after Danny Simpson fouls Jose Izquierdo.
63'
Yellow Card
Ben Chilwell (Leicester City)
63'
YELLOW CARD
Ben Chilwell brings down Ezequiel Schelotto on the wing and picks up a yellow - Claude Puel has three players in the book now.
61'
HEADED AWAY
Riyad Mahrez links up well with Marc Albrighton who crosses dangerously, but Gaetan Bong heads away.
56'
Substitution
Fousseni Diabate (on). Shinji Okazaki (off). (Leicester City)
56'
FOXES SUBSTITUTION
Shinji Okazaki has been surprisingly ineffective for Leicester City today and he is the first player to be hurled off. Claude Puel could bring off any of his players to be fair.
43'
NEAT PLAY
Some neat play from Riyad Mahrez as he picks out Marc Albrighton on the edge of the area. He crosses, but Mathew Ryan grabs it with his safe hands.
40'
MUST DO BETTER
Claude Puel has to think about making some serious changes at the break. Leicester City just don't look interested today. Brighton & Hove Albion should be leading.
37'
WHAT A CHANCE!
Jurgen Locadia slips it through to Glenn Murray who has only Kasper Schmeichel to beat, but he spoons it wide. He has to score there, has to.
34'
CLOSE!
Leicester City are sloppy again, as this time Harry Maguire gives the ball away cheaply to Glenn Murray. He takes aim from the edge of the box, it dips, but not enough as it lands on top of the net.
30'
30 MINS ON THE CLOCK
Brighton & Hove Albion have played the better stuff but we have been lacking chances so far. Leicester City have yet to really get out of first gear.
26'
GREAT TACKLE
Riyad Mahrez gives the ball away and Brighton & Hove Albion break in numbers, but Wes Morgan produces a brilliant sliding challenge to stop the attack. If he gets that wrong, it's a second yellow and he's off.
24'
Yellow Card
Onyinye Ndidi (Leicester City)
24'
ANOTHER YELLOW
Onyinye Ndidi is the second Leicester City player to go into the book for a late tackle on Beram Kayal.
4'
SLOW START
Quite a slow start at Brighton. Maybe the start of two teams who feel they have little to play for with just a few months of the season left. Hopefully it might burst into life soon...
18'
POOR HEADER
Leicester City have their first real sight of goal from a free-kick but Vicente Iborra heads a weak effort into the arms of Mathew Ryan.
15'
CLOSE!
Brighton & Hove Albion cut Leicester City open and Jose Izquierdo is inches away from tapping home a dangerous cross.
12'
Yellow Card
Wes Morgan (Leicester City)
12'
YELLOW CARD
Beram Kayal slips a lovely pass through to Davy Propper who is chopped to the ground by Wes Morgan. That's a clear yellow.
53'
CHANCE FOR BRIGHTON
Jose Izquierdo brings down a pass from Gaetan Bong and shoots when maybe he should have looked to pass to one of a number of open Brighton players in the box, and the Colombian player's effort is blocked.
47'
GREAT SAVE
Pascal Gross hits a bullet from 25 yards out only for Kasper Schmeichel to produce a magical one-handed save.
46'
AWAY WE GO
We are back underway at Brighton & Hove Albion.
45'
ONE ADDED MINUTE
There will be one added minute at the end of the first half.
45'
HALF-TIME
That's it. Not a great half of football and it's 0-0 at the break.
1'
AWAY WE GO
We are underway on the south coast.
