Craig Shakespeare waiting for Leicester job verdict after second win

Craig Shakespeare is waiting to learn if he has done enough to become Leicester manager on a permanent basis after again making a strong case to be promoted from his stand-in role.

The former assistant to Claudio Ranieri has won both matches in interim charge by a 3-1 margin, his side following up Monday's home victory over Liverpool with another three points against relegation rivals Hull on Saturday.

Goals from Christian Fuchs and Riyad Mahrez and a Tom Huddlestone own goal overturned the lead given to Hull by Sam Clucas and gave the defending champions back-to-back league wins for the first time this season.
