Leicester City paid tribute to late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha before kick-off, with the first anniversary of his death approaching
Youri Tielemans' emphatic strike earned Leicester victory over Burnley as the club paid an emotional tribute to late chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha at the King Power Stadium.
Prior to kick-off, Leicester supporters took part in a walk to mark the first anniversary of the helicopter crash which claimed the lives of five people, including Srivaddhanaprabha, outside the stadium on 27 October last year.
Visitors Burnley had taken the lead midway through the first half as Chris Wood rose highest to head Dwight McNeil's cross beyond Kasper Schmeichel.
Jamie Vardy headed in from Harvey Barnes' floated delivery to draw the hosts level on the stroke of half-time.
Tielemans then completed the turnaround with 16 minutes remaining, composing himself before unleashing a powerful shot into the roof of the net.
Woods appeared to have equalised for Burnley in the 80th minute, but that was disallowed after a video assistant referee review ruled the striker had fouled Jonny Evans.
