Norwich City slip to fifth in the Championship after their first home defeat of the season.

The Canaries were beaten 2-0 by second place Leicester City at Carrow Road last night.

The loss came thanks to goals from Kelechi Iheanacho (pen) and Kasey McAteer.

It's Norwich's second defeat of the season, and one they'll be looking to bounce back from when they travel to Plymouth this weekend.

Norwich boss David Wagner says he wasn't pleased with the result: "Disappointing result, good performance against a top quality side," he told Canaries TV.

"I think everybody has seen this. First half Leicester were the better side, second half we were the better side - we readjusted at half-time tactically and how the players executed it was great.

"We had our opportunities, were not clinical and got beaten by quality. The performance was good, the shift, effort, we never gave up...

"We're proud about the performance, it was a great atmosphere, the supporters were behind us. It was exactly how it should be except for the result, so now we move on and go to Plymouth."

"Where we'll try to get three points. We don't have to correct the performance, the performance was good.

"We don't have to correct the effort, we only have to confirm it. It's in three days' time, we have to make sure that we recover proper."
