Matt Fryatt hit his second hat-trick in two games as League One leaders Leicester brushed aside Southend to secure a sixth consecutive home win.

The City striker made it 2-0 with another cool finish from 15 yards following Steve Howard's flick-on.

And Fryatt completed his hat-trick when he confidently stroked home a penalty after Peter Clarke handled.
