Leicester City 4 Leeds United 0
Leicester silenced their critics on a night which is likely to see Leeds boss Peter Reid back to his verbally expletive worst.
Two stunning goals in the space of three first-half minutes provided the basis for City's first victory of the season following a start to the campaign which had merely underlined their status as relegation certainties.
Paul Dickov's second of the night and Jamie Scowcroft's bullet header in the final 10 minutes hammered home a point to the doubters who have long written off boss Micky Adams' battlers as their first four games of the season had yielded just two points.
