Leicester City claimed their fifth successive Premier League victory under Craig Shakespeare with a home win over Sunderland.
Second-half goals by Islam Slimani and Jamie Vardy ended Sunderland’s resistance.
The champions started strongly with Shinji Okazaki finding the side-netting early on, while Jermain Defoe and Didier Ndong fired over from range for the visitors.
Demarai Gray brought a magnificent save out of Jordan Pickford on the stroke of half-time, but two substitutes combined to break the deadlock on 69 minutes, Marc Albrighton’s searching cross glanced in by Slimani.
And moments after Victor Anichebe hit the post, Vardy scored his sixth goal in seven PL matches from another Albrighton centre.
Leicester rise to 10th place while Sunderland remain bottom, eight points from safety.
