Leicester City scored four goals from only four shots on target and five in total to end their away drought in spectacular style with a 4-0 win at Wolves on Sunday.

Brendan Rodgers' side were the only Premier League team without a single point on the road this season prior to their trip to Molineux, but went 2-0 up inside 20 minutes through Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes.

Tielemans' stunning strike from outside the box set the tone on a happy afternoon for the Foxes, but they had to soak up the pressure against Wolves. 

The home side had most of the chances throughout the match, but Leicester took theirs to rack up a big win as James Maddison and Jamie Vardy extended their advantage in the second half.

The win was Leicester's third of the season in the Premier League and lifts the Foxes off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone as they climb to 16th place.

It also means they no longer have the worst away record in the division, having now claimed three points on the road – which is one more than Rodgers' old club Liverpool.

In fact, it is Wolves with the worst away record in the Premier League now, having won a single point on the road this term.

The Molineux outfit lie in 19th place, above bottom club Nottingham Forest on goal difference alone with 11 games played.

Wolves are also still without a manager following the recent sacking of Bruno Lage, with Steve Davis still in charge as a caretaker.
