Burnley 2 Leicester 1: Vardy misses penalty and Chilwell axed from squad as Foxes stunned by Wood and Westwood goals

ASHLEY WESTWOOD scored his first ever goal at Turf Moor as Burnley came from behind to upset Leicester 2-1.

Harvey Barnes gave the Foxes the lead in the 33rd minute as he ran unchallenged from the half way line to drill past Nick Pope.

But the home side fought back in the second half and got their reward when Chris Wood bundled in from a corner.

Vardy was then denied from the spot by Pope as his penalty was placed at a nice height for the keeper to palm away.

And Westwood completed the turnaround with 11 minutes remaining, thumping hard and low past Peter Schmeichel to give Sean Dyche’s side all three points.

The win lifts Burnley into 14th, while Brendan Rodgers team suffer their second successive defeat.
