Leicester 1-0
Hignett 25mins
gillespie 27mins
elliott 80mins
impey 88mins
Sheff Utd
kenny 90mins
Leicester watched as Callum Davidson was taken off after 3mins, but had a great chance after 17mins with Gillespie,
Hignett then gave Leicester the lead after 25mins with a wonderful strike from 25 yards,
Sheffield got going later in the first half - but Chopra's shot well over the bar - being their only real threat on goal.
The 2nd half started with Leicester again - and Andy Impey saw his effort saved on 62mins,
Sheffield United then had a great chance with a corner - which was blocked superbly by substitute Curtis - denying Brown of a goal on 77mins,
Scowcroft had a great chance on 82mins,
and Utd had a chance at the other end with Brown on 83mins,
And finally Gillespie almost wrapped it up on 91mins with a close effort partially saved by Paddy Kenny.
But celebrations broke out as Leicester had won the match 1-0,
And they are now promoted to the Premiership in a dramatic season, winners of the Championship Cup and now Promoted after just about grabbing a Play-Off spot after finishing 6th in the League.
