Champions Leicester City recovered from Jamie Vardy’s red card and a two-goal deficit to claim an incredible draw at Stoke City.

Vardy was contentiously dismissed by referee Craig Pawson for a two-footed tackle on Mame Diouf.

Stoke took advantage to score twice before half-time, with Bojan Krkic converting a penalty after Danny Simpson’s handball, and Joe Allen tapping in.

But the Foxes mounted a remarkable comeback in the final 15 minutes, with substitute Leonardo Ulloa and Daniel Amartey heading home to snatch a point.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri said: “It was a fantastic spirit and we wanted to fight until the end so it was important for us to play well.

“During half-time we spoke a lot and had to believe something good was possible. I am always positive. It could be a turning point today, but we have to wait and see the next matches.

“I was angry at the referee because I saw my players fight and there were so many yellow cards, but it was a normal battle in the Premier League.”
