Gary Rowett nearly got off to a dream start as Leicester City manager after a late equaliser denied the Foxes all three points, having come from behind to take the lead at the Bet365 Stadium.

For the first thirty minutes of the Championship clash with Stoke City, you could be forgiven for thinking that nothing had changed despite the club's precarious position in the relegation zone. They looked very much second-best and were arguably lucky to only be a goal down at the break through Ben Wilmot

A much-improved second half saw the Foxes turn the tie on its head as they controlled large periods in the Potteries. A Divine Mukasa strike got Leicester on level terms just after the break, before the marmite figure of Harry Winks edged us in front with a quarter of an hour left.

However, with the clock ticking down, Wilmot poked in an equaliser for the home side, though the Foxes should have won it late into stoppage time as Joe Aribo's shot was well saved, before Luke Thomas slammed a header against the post, with the Foxes so close to moving out of the relegation zone.
