Leicester City defeated Bromley 4-0 away on Tuesday to secure consecutive league wins and move to 10th place, three points off the play-offs.

Leicester City defeated Bromley 4-0 away at Hayes Lane on Tuesday to secure consecutive league victories. Will Alves, John Lundstram and Luke Thomas scored in the first half, with Emil Riis adding a fourth after the break. The result moved Leicester to 10th in League One, three points outside the play-offs.

Manager Russell Martin said he was pleased with how his team executed their gameplan. 'I thought we were really aggressive, but we had a real balance of being really aggressive, but really composed,' he told BBC Radio Leicester. He added that his only frustration was Leicester could have scored earlier to make the game easier. The victory marked Leicester's third clean sheet of the season.

Martin said the back-to-back wins had improved the connection between fans and team after a difficult start to the season. Leicester won just one of their opening five league matches but have since taken 10 points from five games. 'We've found a balance in how we play and a formation that has helped us,' Martin said. Leicester have not lost in any of their last six matches where they scored first, though have yet to come from behind to win in their opening ten league fixtures.
