This match being the closest home match to what would have been Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha's 61st birthday, Leicester distributed a free cake to fans and the performance of Brendan Rodgers' team helped create a party atmosphere that suits all tastes.
There was poetry when fans sang Vichai's name repeatedly, when his son Top was applauded from the box of directors, but a carnival atmosphere erupted when Jamie Vardy won with a high head.
There are now three straight wins for Rodgers, whose team has completely dominated Bournemouth. Leicester is now tied for points with the Wolves, seventh, and the prospects for another European tour are mushrooming.
Leicester took the lead with an instinctive finish from Wes Morgan, who scored his second goal in as many games.

Vardy seems in the mood to sack his club on the spot. It was his 13th goal in the Premier League campaign and when captain Wes Morgan turns around, everything seems possible.
Before the international cut, Morgan scored almost with the last touch to Burnley to win the victory in Leicester and it was not long to hit here.
It has run out 10 minutes when his ingenuity gave the advantage to Leicester.
James Maddison seemed to want to work in a corner with Ben Chilwell, carrying the ball to the left back which was not distinguishable from the edge of the box. Chilwell avoided hitting a volley, dissuaded by the close proximity of Lee Mason. He then touched the ball and then hit the balloon low, deflecting Morgan from the post. Rather than pure luck, replays showed that Morgan reacted sharply, using his left to tip the ball over the target.
Leicester goaltender Kasper Schmeichel leaves the ball to kick Callum Wilson.

Almost immediately, Bournemouth nearly restored parity. Ryan Fraser broke out on the left and badped a cross that reached Callum Wilson, who beat Chilwell. Wilson's five-meter shot was firm, but Kasper Schmeichel rushed to his left to make a spectacular save.
Leicester played well however and created opportunities through thoughtful approaches such as Rodgers had clearly trained.
Harvey Barnes and Yuri Tielemans played a key role in a move that allowed Maddison to shoot, but he shifted the shot off.
Tielemans was the spark for an even better opening for Jamie Vardy. His fast pbad to the right freed Ricardo Pereira and Maddison's race distracted Vardy's Bournemouth defense in the center of the field. Ricardo's cross was good, but Vardy largely escaped his goal.

Another interesting action pbading through complex pbades is over with Maddison's top shot in Asmir Begovic's gloves.
The opportunities in Bournemouth came mainly on the counter. Fraser beat Ricardo in a run and fell back on Josh King, whose goal was surpbaded.
There were moving scenes when the clock indicated 60 minutes, while the whole stadium stood to pay homage to Vichai. He was 60 when he died in October.
"Vichai had a dream", was sung in a loop for five minutes, her image being displayed on large screens. His Top applauded in the box of directors, visibly moved.
The noise only dissipated when Ricardo entered the penalty area, his shot was blocked, the ball fell on Maddison who fed Vardy. This time Vardy did well, trying to kick that Begovic pushed back.
Eight minutes from the end, he perfectly understood. Tielemans chose a super center and Vardy went up high to get out of the bar.
