In normal circumstances, a 1-1 draw away from home at top of the table Cardiff would be heralded by City fans as a great result, especially after the recent run of poor form and disappointing performances. The fact that Cardiff's equaliser came in the 93rd minute will leave a bitter taste in the mouth for some. It shouldn't. Nigel Pearson tried something different, adopting a 4-3-3 formation when Leicester were in possession, which became 4-5-1 when defending. Wellens, St. Ledger and Dyer all came in to freshen up the side. Leicester were much more resilient and combative in midfield and it was a much better performance all round.
Michael Keane's 72nd minute header gave Leicester a deserved lead, in a second half that they dominated. Pearson will consider his side team unlucky not to be flying home with all 3 points this evening. However, a point means that Leicester cannot now be knocked out of the play-off places this weekend. This could be crucial. A two week international break staring at a league table with Leicester City in 7th place is not what the Foxes need!
