As Forest cruised to a 3-1 win at King Power Stadium, the away support chanted:  “Stevie Cooper, he hates the Leicester, he hates the Derby, he loves the Forest".

The Foxes fought back through Jamie Vardy to cancel out Ryan Yates' opener for the visitors. However, Forest took charge after the break thanks to a brace from Chris Wood.

The result leaves Leicester in 14th place on the table, with Forest now fifth.
