Winger Matt Phillips punished a horrendous error by midfielder Danny Drinkwater to score the winner for West Brom at champions Leicester.

Two goals in three second-half minutes livened up what had been a dull encounter at the King Power Stadium.

The Baggies scored first when midfielder James Morrison, making his first league start since January, headed in from Phillips’ brilliant right-wing cross.

Moments later Riyad Mahrez, on Leicester’s right, provided a similarly accurate delivery for £29m club-record signing Slimani to nod in his fourth goal since joining the Foxes in the summer.

But with 18 minutes remaining Phillips pounced on the ball after Drinkwater miscontrolled, and strode forward before dinking his shot past keeper Ron-Robert Zieler.
