In this match, Leicester City dominated from the start and created many dangerous opportunities towards goalkeeper Boaz Myhill's goal but failed to take advantage of them. Not only that, Leicester City also had to pick the ball out of the net first in the 63rd minute after a classy free kick from more than 25m by striker Nacer Chadli.

Having conceded a goal, Leicester City increased the pressure in the remaining minutes and midfielder Riyad Mahrez shone with a chest-up, then volleyed past goalkeeper Myhill (minute 80) after a header from Slimani, equalizing the score 1-1 for the home team.

With this draw, Leicester City is stuck in 18th place with 6 points and the pressure of dismissal is weighing heavily on coach Craig Shakespeare.
