Jordan Ayew scores as Leicester City end run of defeats with draw against Middlesbrough

Jordan Ayew scored his second goal of the season to help Leicester City to a 1-1 draw against Middlesbrough in the English Championship. 

The veteran forward converted from the spot at the stroke of half time to end the Foxes back-to-back defeats in the league.

Having started the game brightly, the former Premier League champions ended the half with a deserving lead through the Ghana captain.

However, an injury-time strike from defender Luke Ayling secured a valuable point for Middlesbrough at King Power.

Ayew, who has come under criticisms following Leicester's poor run, has now scored two goals in 13 games.

The draw has seen Leicester further drop on the table, falling to 13th with 18 points after 14 matches.

Meanwhile, his compatriot, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku lasted 85 minutes of the game and was replaced by Stephy Mavididi.
