Leicester vs West Ham Player Ratings: Vardy, Mahrez and Payet fail to shine as Hammers open up title race

1/23
Samuel Lovett17 April 2016

Leicester rescued what could be a crucial point in the Premier League title race as they came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against West Ham on Sunday.

Jamie Vardy opened the scoring for Claudio Ranieri's league leaders in the first half, but the Foxes forward was then shown a red card early after the interval for simulation in the West Ham area.

An Andy Carroll penalty and a stunning long-range effort from Aaron Cresswell gave Slaven Bilic's side a 2-1 lead late on, but Carroll then gifted Leicester an injury-time spot-kick of their own.

Leonardo Ulloa finished calmly to snatch a point from a difficult match, though Tottenham and Arsenal will have been given hope of a potential collapse from the table toppers in the run-in.
