The Foxes were beaten by Hull City 2-1 at the Kcom Stadium.

The Tigers went ahead in the match in the last minute of the added time of the first half through Adama Diomande’s goal, but less than 20 seconds into the second half, Hull conceded a penalty, which Riyad Mahrez put behind the net, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way.
