Leicester City’s attempted fightback fell short as a disastrous first half did the damage in their defeat at Hull.

Aaron Ramsey came off the bench to score a terrific goal but City could not find an equaliser, with Harry Winks cracking the crossbar in added time.

City were ultimately undone by a woeful first period in which Liam Millar, making his first start in a year, curled in the opener before Joe Gelhardt tapped in a second.

It means the eight-game unbeaten run is over for Marti Cifuentes’ side, who tumble down the table from fourth to eighth, with Hull one of the sides to overtake them.

Four changes were made by Cifuentes for the game, the manager bringing Hamza Choudhury, Boubakary Soumare, Jordan Ayew and Patson Daka into the fold.

City had led at half-time in their previous three matches but there was no chance of that at the MKM Stadium. They were all at sea defensively and lacked the quality in attack to break Hull down.

Even before...
