Icelandic striker Andri Gudjohnsen netted twice for Blackburn, securing a 2-0 victory over Leicester at the King Power Stadium. This result marked Leicester's third consecutive defeat in the Championship, sparking discontent among their supporters. Gudjohnsen opened the scoring in the 20th minute and doubled his team's lead shortly after the hour mark. This was the second consecutive match in which the Icelander found the back of the net, following his winning goal against Southampton last week.

Leicester fans voiced their frustration, booing their players and chanting, "You're not fit to wear the shirt." Despite some promising moments from Leicester, including an early chance for Stephy Mavididi and another opportunity at the start of the second half, they failed to score. Blackburn's goalkeeper, Balazs Toth, made a crucial save to maintain his team's lead.

Blackburn dominated much of the match and extended their lead thanks to Ryan Alebiosu's efforts, who assisted Gudjohnsen's second goal. Although there were doubts about whether the ball had gone out of play before the cross, the goal stood. Leicester made several changes to their lineup, including Victor Kristiansen's first start of the season, but these adjustments failed to yield the desired outcome.

Analysis: Leicester is currently experiencing a challenging period, with a lack of efficiency in front of goal and defensive errors being key factors in their recent losses. Blackburn, on the other hand, is showing stability and climbing confidently up the standings, driven by standout performances from players like Gudjohnsen.
