Leicester and Blackburn drew 1-1. Captura/LCFC

Leicester and Blackburn Rovers faced off on Saturday in a friendly which ended 1-1. The Premier League side were far from their best and only an error from the away keeper stopped Brendan Rodgers' side from losing.

Leicester and Blackburn Rovers faced off this Saturday in the teams' final game before the start of the 2020-21 league season.

The Foxes were the favourites for the clash, but the Championship side put up a very good show.

Tony Mowbray's men played very well, especailly in the second half, but had to settle for a draw because of a major goalkeeping error by Fisher.

After a Leicester corner, the Blackburn Rovers goalie spilled the ball and Dan Amartey headed in unopposed at the back stick to put Leicester ahead.

Rovers fought back after that and levelled in the 81st minute from a corner through Derrick Williams. The game ended 1-1 as both clubs look ahead to next weekend.
