LONDON (Reuters) - Leicester City midfielder James Maddison created both goals in a 2-0 win at relegation-threatened Fulham on Wednesday as Brendan Rodgers' side moved provisionally up to third in the Premier League.

Fulham, 18th, are now winless in the league in 11 games since a 2-1 victory at Leicester in November and they sit seven points from the safety zone. Leicester are two points behind second-placed Manchester United.
