Fortunate Foxes scrape draw against 10-man Irons
Leicester City managed to scrape a draw thanks to a deflected Wilfred Ndidi shot to deny 10-man West Ham what would have been an incredible away win.
On paper, these two teams are very evenly matched and have had equally inconsistent starts to their Premier League campaigns. The first 20 minutes refelcted that perfectly, with both teams having spells of dominance but not being able to capitalise.
West Ham started to edge it as the half progressed, with Robert Snodgrass being particularly bright in the attacking third.
The away side managed to find their breakthrough on 30 minutes. Felipe Anderson looped in an impressive free-kick for Rice to cushion the header to Fabain Balbuena. The Paraguayan saw his foirst header cannon off the post, but luckliy for him it fell to him again and he was able to tap the ball in to the net.
West Ham's dominance of the game was ended on 38 minutes, when their captain was shown a controversial red card when he slid in showing his studs on Wilfred Ndidi. Michael Oliver had no hesitation, and gave Mark Noble his marching orders.
