Jordan James, Abdul Fatawu and Jannik Vestergaard were all on target as Leicester City ended their run of draws with an impressive 3-1 victory at Swansea City.
James thumped Leicester into the lead early on before Swansea hauled themselves back into the contest through Adam Idah’s second-half penalty.
Fatawu then restored the Foxes’ advantage as he whipped the ball into the top corner from outside the area, before the winger went close to an extraordinary second goal when he hit the bar from almost 50 yards out.
With Swansea’s resistance broken, Marti Cifuentes’ team wrapped up the points when Vestergaard headed home after Luke Thomas’ free-kick was not properly cleared.
After four successive draws, Leicester’s first win since late August sees them climb to third in the Championship table.
Swansea slip to 11th having been beaten at home for only the second time since Alan Sheehan took charge at the Welsh club in February.
Leicester took the game to Swansea in the opening stages, with James lifting a decent early chance over before he cut in from the left and smashed the ball beyond Lawrence Vigouroux and into the far corner.
James also hit the post just after the hour mark before Swansea, who were in the contest until the closing stages, came close to an equaliser when Jakub Stolarczyk denied Zan Vipotnik from point-blank range.
The leveller came after Wout Faes slid in on Ethan Galbraith and referee David Webb pointed the spot, allowing Idah to stroke home his first goal since his deadline-day move from Celtic.
But Leicester hit back with a vengeance to seal a victory they undoubtedly deserved.
