TODAY's early kick-off in The Championship between Blackburn and Leicester was halted for five minutes after Aynsley Pears suffered a nasty injury in a horror collision.<\/p>\n

The Blackburn keeper rushed at the feet of Jamie Vardy as he bore down on goal in the 59th minute.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

But the England man trod on his boot and injured Pears, leading to a lengthy delay in play.<\/p>\n

After five minutes of treatment, Pears was replaced by back-up Rovers goalkeeper Leo Wahlstedt.<\/p>\n

As he left the field, Pears was unable to support himself and needed to be carried by medics.<\/p>\n

Pears has come under criticism from Rovers fans this season, with many saying that Wahlstedt, who arrived from second division Norwegian side Odds Ballklubb in the summer, should have been first-choice.<\/p>\n

Blackburn were 2-1 down at the time of the substitution, after netting a quick reply in reponse to Wout Faes' fourth minute opener through a goal by Sammie Szmodcics in the ninth minute.<\/p>\n

Leicester re-took the lead through a Jamie Vardy goal in the 28th minute, who characteristically celebrated in front of the Rovers fans.<\/p>\n

Leicester were then able to put Blackburn to the sword late in the game through an 82nd minute penalty by Kelechi Iheanacho and a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strike in the 88th minute.<\/p>\n

The convincing win puts Leicester back at the top of the table with eight wins and one loss from their nine games played so far this season.<\/p>\n

The Foxes, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, look revitalised and set to bounce straight back to English football's top-flight under Pep Guardiola's former no2 Enzo Maresca.<\/p>\n

Rovers meanwhile have continued a miserable start to the campaign.<\/p>\n

The defeat was their fourth in their last five games.<\/p>\n

They sit in 18th place now on 10 points, two points above the drop zone.<\/p>\n
