Leicester City 2-2 West Ham: Craig Dawson denies Foxes in stoppage time as points shares at King Power stadium

West Ham United saw their top four hopes take a blow as they could only muster a 2-2 draw against a dogged Leicester City. In a game with few clear-cut chances, the Foxes came from behind to cancel out Jarrod Bowen's opener, with goals from Youri Tielemans and Ricardo Pereira which they thought would be enough to give Brendan Rodgers' side a much-needed three points, but Craig Dawson's goal in the dying embers snatched a point for the Hammers.

But the Hammers wouldn't capitalise on their early dominance; they let the hosts back into the game as James Maddison and Harvey Barnes grew into the encounter as the prime creators, although it was the returning Belgian Tielemans who hauled the home side level on the stroke of half time, putting speculation about his new contract to the back of his mind as he sent Lukasz Fabianski the wrong way from the spot. Aaron Cresswell had been adjudged to have handled a Maddison corner to give away the penalty, and the visitors' refusal to turn up the heat in the earlier exchanges had cost them.
