Defender Jonny Evans had headed in a deflected corner to make it 2-0.

Castagne and West Brom's Matheus Pereira both hit the post in the first half in a very open game.

The win means Leicester City are now four points clear of Chelsea, who are in fourth with six matches remaining.

The two sides meet in the Premier League and also the FA Cup final next month.

What Brendan Rodgers said

"I am not thinking about the other teams. We have to think about ourselves. We can only control ourselves," said Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers.

"This group will sometimes lose games but they are so honest and they want to be better. When you have that it is the dream ticket. It is all you can ask for as a coach."
