Championship leaders Burnley weathered an early storm away at Leicester, taking a hard-earned point back to Turf Moor as the Premier League promotion race tightened up. Danny Ings cancelled out David Nugent’s first half penalty.
Leicester made a dominant start with French winger Anthony Knockaert testing Clarets keeper Tom Heaton after winning a corner. Opposition defenders had to block shots at will as the hosts had five attempts in the opening seven minutes.
Pearson’s Foxes made this early pressure pay when Jamie Vardy won a soft penalty before the quarter hour. The striker went down in between Ben Mee and Jason Shackell in the Burnley box and referee Andy D’Urso pointed to the spot.
Up stepped Nugent and converted his tenth league goal of the season, sending Heaton the wrong way. The Clarets later hit the woodwork through Ings when he glanced a Kieran Trippier cross against the post.
