Leicester City 1-1 Ipswich Town: Jeremy Sarmiento snatches a draw for Tractor Boys

Leif Davis (right) scores an own goal for Ipswich against Leicester

Substitute Jeremy Sarmiento returned Ipswich Town to the automatic promotion spots with a last-minute equaliser against Championship leaders Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

The Foxes appeared to be heading 10 points clear at the summit once more after an own goal by Leif Davis had put them ahead in the first half.

In a thrilling second half, Foxes goalkeeper Mads Hermansen made a superb save from Wes Burns immediately after the break, while Kasey McAteer had an effort of his own cleared off the line at the other end.

But when Hermansen could only knock a Massimo Luongo shot down in the area, Brighton loanee Sarmiento was quickest to pounce with a shot that squeezed under the Danish stopper.

It is the second time in four weeks Ipswich have left it late to earn themselves a share of the spoils with Leicester, having also done so on Boxing Day at Portman Road.

The draw this time lifted them above Southampton and back into second place, with Leicester maintaining their seven-point lead at the top.

The Foxes had a 10-game unbeaten league run, including eight wins, ended by Coventry City last time out.

It was a fourth league loss of the season and slowed their record pace in top spot, although only the Reading side that won the 2006 Championship title with a never-before-seen 106 points has amassed more points than Enzo Maresca’s men after 28 games.

It was a game that also cost them Maresca’s presence on the touchline for the visit of Ipswich after the Italian was shown a third yellow card of the season.

There were fears influential midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall would also be missing after picking up a knock in that game, but he was fit enough to start.

On the bench for the first time in two months, Leicester were also able to call on fit-again 37-year-old former England international Jamie Vardy – a striker whose goals got them promoted a decade earlier, then helped deliver a miraculous Premier League title and FA Cup glory.

His late introduction brought with it roars of delight, which were not to be repeated at full-time as Sarmiento stunned the Foxes faithful with his late equaliser.

Mavididi shows quality but Foxes waste chances

A bright, possession-dominant and menacing start by Leicester generated numerous chances, with Tom Cannon and Stephy Mavididi bobbing and weaving into the box before being crowded out by Ipswich’s defence.

A rare aimless pass from Dewsbury-Hall, as he looked to tee up Cannon at the end of a counter-attack started by Ricardo Pereira, allowed the first big chance go to waste.

It came only minutes before Hamza Choudhury had a fierce curled effort from outside the box pushed around the post by visiting keeper Vaclav Hladky.

Eventually, Ipswich’s resistance was broken by Mavididi’s quality.

The former Arsenal, Juventus and Montpellier forward traded passes with both Harry Winks and Pereira before whipping a low ball across the face of goal which the backtracking Davis could only bundle into his own net.

Leicester kept racking up the first-half chances, but Pereira and McAteer were off target while Cannon was foiled by Hladky.

Ipswich, a side that has mounted an automatic promotion push after coming up from League One, failed to seriously threaten in the first 45 minutes.

Boss Kieran McKenna sent out a more positive team for the second half and, among a succession of early corners, Burns tested Hermansen with a fierce close-range volley.

A Lewis Travis clearance off Ipswich’s line denied Leicester a second before the hour, while Cannon had a thunderous shot from the top of the box parried by Hladky, who kept out McAteer late on.

It took a club record 20-game unbeaten league run for Southampton to get into a tussle with Ipswich for the second automatic promotion spot, and Sarmiento’s first goal for the club ensured they again have a stranglehold of that fight.

‘A big shame for Foxes’ – reaction

Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca said:

“It’s a big shame. The effort of all the players was huge, it was unbelievable, and it’s always a shame when you drop points at the end.

“It happened there [at Portman Road] and it’s happened tonight – but that’s football. Until the end there is always danger or a chance for the other team to recover the game.

“It’s a shame for the result, because of the chances we created, but overall with the way we performed I’m very happy.”

Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna said:

“The second half was much more like ourselves and we can take a lot of confidence and lessons from that.

“I thought, on the balance of the second half, we probably deserved to get something from the game.

“The first half was difficult, I don’t think we managed to impose ourselves on the game as we would have liked to and we didn’t play with the conviction, on or off the ball, that we would like to.

“But it is a big step up, no doubt about it. And I think it felt like that in the first half with the level of the opponent, and we have come a long way in a short space of time.”
