Leicester 2 Barnsley 0
Leicester, looking to put a difficult week behind them in the wake of Gary Megson's departure to Bolton, secured a two-goal lead against Barnsley inside the opening half-hour. Collins John, signed on loan this week from Fulham, stabbed home from close range after Shaun Newton's free-kick into a crowded penalty area. And it was 2-0 just eight minutes later when Barnsley's defence were caught out at a corner and Patrick Kisnorbo nodded home from almost on the line.
