Patson Daka's opening goal was his first away from home in 16 months and Leicester's 60th in the Championship this seasonLeicester City extended their lead at the top of the Championship to 11 points as they eased to a 5-0 win at Stoke City.
Two goals in a three-minute first-half spell set the Foxes on their way as Patson Daka converted from close range after a good passing move before Kasey McAteer's deflected shot went in.
Daka got a third from the penalty spot after a foul on Wout Faes.
Jamie Vardy added a fourth seven minutes later as he got on the end of a James Justin cross before the former England striker scored a stoppage-time penalty to complete the rout.
The loss drops Stoke to 20th in the Championship - four points and two places above the relegation zone.
It is the first time in Stoke boss Steven Schumacher's managerial career that he has lost three successive games and it is his heaviest defeat as a manager since his Plymouth Argyle side were beaten 4-0 at Leicester in December.
