Gillingham suffered their second defeat in the last two away games as they went down 2-0 at Leicester City this afternoon.

The home side got off the to the perfect start with a goal after only 10 minutes from youn wing-back Jordan Steward who rose highest in the six-yard area to head in the opening strike.

Leicester made it 2-0 with three minutes remaining in the first period, and what a goal it was.

Ian Walker's long clearance was headed into the path of Paul Dickov by Brian Deane.

The tiny striker took the ball in his stride and with the next movement struck a powerful into the bottom corner of the net from the edge of the box.

With a two-goal advantage, City took their foot off the pedal in the second half and although Rod Wallace had a half-chance for Gills the visitors looked unlikely to get anything out of the game.

Trevor Benjamin missed a couple of glaring opportunities in the late stages for Leicester but they made little difference.
