MAN OF THE MATCH?

Maddison earns Leicester a point at Southampton

James Maddison's superb second-half strike earned Leicester City a 2-2 draw with Southampton in an entertaining contest at St Mary's Stadium.

Jan Bednarek's close-range finish gave Southampton the lead with just three minutes played.

On 22 minutes, Leicester equalised through Jonny Evans, who reacted quickest to score after Wilfred Ndidi's shot had been parried by Alex McCarthy.

Saints restored their lead in the 34th minute when Che Adams headed in Nathan Redmond's cross.

The visitors levelled four minutes after the break, as Maddison brilliantly beat Tino Livramento with a skilful drag-back before firing a low shot past McCarthy at his near post.

McCarthy produced a great save to deny Harvey Barnes, before Jamie Vardy shot over when through on goal as the Foxes were unable to find a late winner.

Leicester climb to eighth on 19 points, four clear of Southampton who drop to 16th.
