Leicester moved nine points clear at the top of League One after a hard-fought win over 10-man Huddersfield.

Phil Jevons scored from seven yards but Leicester levelled when Bruno Berner's shot went in off Michael Morrison.

Keigan Parker struck from 18 yards but Berner equalised at the far post from Steve Howard's flick-on and Matty Fryatt converted from five yards.
