Foxes fans were left frustrated again after Watford came from behind to to take a 2-1 victory, piling the pressure on manager Marti Cifuentes.

Two costly errors gifted the Hornets the three points at the King Power Stadium on Boxing Day, after midfielder Jordan James had given Leicester an early lead inside the first ten minutes with a neat finish after a well-worked move.

A mistake on the stroke of half-time by the returning Caleb Okoli saw Watford equalise through Othmane Maamma.

This switched the momentum in favour of the visitors after the break, who then gave their travelling support a Christmas boost when Mattie Pollock sealed the points, beating goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk to the ball to head home the winner.
