Vardy watched the ball over his shoulder and arrowed a superbly controlled volley low into the right corner. The England striker thought he had another eight minutes before half-time but was correctly penalised for offside when he prodded home Chilwell's low cross, while a backpedalling Morgan deflected a shot from the marauding Rondon over at the other end. Foster pawed to safety when Demarai Gray's cross-shot spun off Chris Brunt's knee before Krychowiak trudged off in disgruntled fashion when Pardew sent on youngster Sam Field in the 58th minute.But it was a Leicester substitute who made a swift and decisive impact, with Iheanacho's cute pass setting up Mahrez to lift a similarly deft finish past Foster. Pardew introduced Jay Rodriguez on a salvage mission for Albion but Leicester continued to look the sharper and more incisive attacking force – Foster denying Vardy impressively with his legs in the 74th minute. He could only palm into the net when Iheanacho met Chilwell's chipped cross a couple of minutes later, with West Brom fans heading for the exits in response.  Those who remained saw Iborra rise and power home at the far post form Marc Albrighton's injury-time corner, the imposing Spanish midfielder unchallenged by an Albion defence that seemed physically and mentally shot.</blockquote>
