Norwich City's fine start turned sour as they surrendered a 1-0 lead to lose 3-1 to Leicester City.
The defeat means they stay on 64 points with their Championship play-off race rivals yet to play, and Coventry able to cut their top six cushion to a single point this afternoon.
Gabriel Sara opened the scoring for the visitors despite a passive start, flicking Marcelino Nunez' free-kick home in another well-rehearsed set-piece routine.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's header levelled things before half-time after Stephy Mavididi headed Wilfred Ndidi's cross into his path, before Mavididi completed the turnaround 16 minutes after the restart.
Jamie Vardy rounded off the scoring with less than two minutes on the clock, sealing a fairly comfortable win for the home side.
His simple finish was bad news for automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town, who make the short trip north on Saturday for a crucial East Anglian derby.
