Excellently, Leicester City wants to give an all-time player who is hoping to survive a significant boost with only one successful win.
After being outplayed for the first twenty minutes, Mustapha Bundu’s cool right-footed strike ended an outstanding counterattack and gave Argyle the lead.
In the first twenty minutes of the second half, Leicester’s Patson Daka had two great opportunities to equalize, but the hosts resolutely held off a Foxes team that was growing more and more frustrated.
The visitors failed to convert last-minute pressure into a goal, and Argyle keeper Michael Cooper did well to deny replacement Jamie Vardy in the 87th minute.
The Foxes’ setback keeps them atop the standings with 88 points, their second straight away loss following their loss at Millwall on Tuesday.
Both teams have an opportunity to surpass the Foxes on Saturday when Leeds hosts Blackburn and Ipswich hosts Middlesbrough. They are tied for the same number of points as Leeds United and one ahead of Ipswich Town.
With seven points from nine games played, Argyle has now gone undefeated in all three since Ian Foster was fired as head coach.
With the victory, the team, which is currently led by first team coach Kevin Nancekivell and director of football Neil Dewsnip, moves up to 16th place, five points above the relegation zone, from 20th.
