(Reuters) - A late goal by David Nugent earned Leicester City a 1-0 victory over Gianfranco Zola's Watford in an English Championship (second tier) playoff semi-final first leg on Thursday.
Nugent rose high to head in a left wing free kick with eight minutes to go to give Nigel Pearson's team a slender advantage to take into the return fixture at Watford on Sunday.
