Bournemouth moved to the highest league position in their history as Leicester’s miserable run away from home continued with defeat at Vitality Stadium.
The champions paid for a lacklustre first half, where they created clear openings for Jamie Vardy and Robert Huth, but surrendered the ball all too easily.
Eddie Howe’s side saw 70% of the ball before the break and Marc Pugh scored for the hosts on his first league start of the season with a controlled drive from 18 yards out.
Leicester improved but ran into a stubborn home defence and goalkeeper Artur Boruc produced a key save to deny Leonardo Ulloa from six yards in the final minute.
It means Claudio Ranieri’s side set an unwanted record as their haul of one point away from home is the lowest total by a defending top-flight champion from the first eight away games of a season.
They remain 14th, four points above the bottom three, while the Cherries move to eighth.
