Having earlier hit the crossbar, Riyad Mahrez, playing his 100th Premier League match, doubled the advantage by capitalising on more sloppy defending to stab home in the 58th minute. "I'm pleased with the result, the performance wasn't quite there but ultimately it is about the result and it is another clean sheet," Leicester City manager Craig Shakespeare told the BBC. "When I took over, the most important thing was to be competitive, climb the table and never set a points target. In-form Leicester have claimed 22 points in 10 Premier League games since Shakespeare replaced Claudio Ranieri. Leicester, who fell as low as 18th in February, climbed to ninth with 43 points from 35 games -- three more than Watford in 15th.
