Potters points are wrapped up with a Bo
pedigree might have supplied. Jeffrey Schlupp was their main provider with his crosses from the left flank but Anthony Knockaert with a first-time snapshot, and James Vardy with a clever back-heel flick, failed to stretch keeper Asmir Begovic from inside the box.
Stoke, their build-up play prompted mostly by Bojan’s artistry, came closest to scoring in the opening 45 minutes.
A Victor Moses corner found the unmarked Philipp Wollscheid but the defender fluffed his header and it went tamely wide.
Leicester keeper Ben Hamer produced a stunning save to keep out Steven Nzonzi’s volley on the hour but was helpless three minutes later when Bojan struck.
The little Spaniard collected a short pass from Jon Walters, swivelled on the edge of the box and buried his left-foot shot into the bottom right-hand corner.
Kramaric had little impact when he was eventually sent on. One jinking run ended with a shot straight at Begovic and he will need more service and support if he is to provide the goals which will lift Leicester off the bottom.
Leicester manager Nigel Pearson said: “It’s difficult for a player to go on in a losing situation.
“I’m pleased he’s had some pitch time today and experienced playing in front of a home crowd. He’s a goalscorer but we didn’t create too much in those last 20 minutes.” The link play between Bojan and Victor Moses proved Stoke have rid themselves of their long-ball reputation The defender was booked but got away with a dreadful tackle on Bojan which should have earned him a red card
