Leicester 3-1 Hull match report: Mahrez makes the difference in champions comeback
Update:

Leicester City continued their post-Claudio Ranieri revival to move five points clear of the Premier League relegation zone by coming from behind to beat fellow strugglers Hull City 3-1.

The Premier League champions beat Liverpool by the same scoreline on Monday in their first game since the controversial sacking of Ranieri.

Yet they seemed set to come back down to earth after 14 minutes on Saturday, Sam Clucas' close-range effort putting Hull ahead.

However, the two stars of Leicester's incredible title-winning campaign under Ranieri had a hand in what could prove to be a crucial comeback.

Riyad Mahrez then completed the turnaround just before the hour mark when he hit home from the edge of the box, with a late Tom Huddlestone own-goal adding gloss to the scoreline as Leicester made it two wins from two under caretaker Craig Shakespeare and leaving Hull second bottom - four points adrift of safety.
