Leicester City moved back on top of the EFL Championship after a 3-2 victory over Millwall at King Power Stadium on Wednesday – their 17th win in 21 league matches this season.

Tom Bradshaw’s 10th-minute opener for the Lions was a shock to the system which took time to overcome, but Enzo Maresca’s side were comfortable winners in the end. Jannik Vestergaard’s early second-half header was quickly followed by Daka’s second goal in as many games.

Wilfred Ndidi was then in the right place at the right time to get the last touch onto Ricardo Pereira’s shot for City’s third of the night. Kevin Nisbet notched a second for the visitors in added time, but there wasn’t enough time for a late Millwall fightback.

This success sees the Foxes snatch top spot back from Ipswich Town, now one point clear, while they also extend the gap to third-placed Leeds United to 11 as Christmas looms.
