Leicester 1-1 West Ham: Ndidi strikes late to rescue a point for hosts

  /  autty

Wilfried Ndidi struck in the final minute of normal time as Leicester threw caution to the wind to rescue a point against 10-man West Ham on Saturday evening.

Manuel Pellegrini's visitors made a dream start, taking the lead on the half-hour mark when defender Fabian Balbuena finished off a smart set-piece routine to put them ahead.

But West Ham's night was catapulted into disarray when captain Mark Noble was shown a straight red card moments before the half-time interval and Leicester's pressure told in the final stages when Ndidi's effort from range deflected in off Balbuena. Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski was stranded and had no chance despite a fine game.
