Leicester, defeated at the Norwich red lantern 1-0 on Friday, continues its black streak, without having won a single league match since January 22.
Deprived of their top scorer Jamie Vardy, the uninspired Foxes experienced yet another underperformance against Norwich, who had won just one of their last 14 games.
Kelechi Iheanacho thought he was holding the score for Leicester after a nice left shot that found the small net, but video referee refused the goal, finding that the attacker was guilty of one hand (49th).
A free warning that had the merit of waking the Canaries. The Slovak Ondrej Duda first made the goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel shine with a heavy strike that would be lodged under the bar (61st) then forced him into a nice parade after an attempted shot at a stop, 15m from goal .
The Dane, on the other hand, could not do anything on the crossed half-volley by Jamal Lewis, catapulted into the back of the net (70th).
With this 1-0 victory, Norwich returns to 4 points from the first non-relegation, Aston Villa. Leicester is taking the risk of seeing Chelsea, who are currently six points behind, and who are moving to Bournemouth's field on Saturday, return.
The 28th day will continue on Saturday with in particular an unbalanced duel between Watford (19th) and Liverpool, who will try to obtain a 27th victory in 28 days.
