Leicester remain third in the Championship table, just one point off leaders Burnley, after the two clubs shared the points at the King Power Stadium this afternoon. Leicester dominated the opening exchanges and deservedly took the lead in the 14th minute. The nature of the goal was fortunate - Vardy adjudged to have been fouled in the box. Nugent buried the resulting spot-kick. Despite many opportunities to extend their lead, City failed to do so and it was to cost them. Burnley came back into the game in the second half and equalised just 90 seconds after the break, Ings capitalising on some poor defending to volley the ball into the bottom corner.
It was a decent result for Leicester against the league leaders and prevented the Foxes from slipping to a third straight defeat. This is particularly important in light of the fixtures still to come this week. Next up, the small matter of Manchester City on Tuesday night.
