Ipswich Town 1-1 Leicester City: Jordan Ayew's late strike earns Foxes a point

Jordan Ayew came off the bench to earn Leicester City a last-gasp 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town as Kieran McKenna's side's wait for a first Premier League win since their return to the top flight continues.


The home team appeared on course for all three points thanks to Leif Davis' stunning volley 10 minutes into the second half on the left back's 100th appearance for the club, only for Kalvin Phillips' 77th-minute sending-off for two bookings to turn the game on its head.


The on-loan Man City midfielder was fortunate not to have been shown a straight red card at the end of the first period after appearing to elbow Facundo Buonanotte in the head, only for VAR Stuart Attwell to deem it just a yellow card.


However, after clumsily barging into Ricardo Pereira, referee Tim Robinson had no other option than to issue Phillips a second yellow - a week on from Harry Clarke also seeing red in defeat at Brentford - and Ipswich's control of the game disappeared in an instant.


The hosts were furious the official had not awarded them a penalty when Conor Chaplin was upended in the box moments before Phillips saw red, before Leicester then took immediate control - and with Ipswich hanging on, deservedly levelled matters in the fourth minute of injury time after Ayew exchanged passes with Jamie Vardy, before coolly finding the net with the hosts' long wait for a Premier League win still stretching back to April 2002.


As a result, Ipswich stay in 18th place in the table after a fifth draw of the season, while Steve Cooper - who watched the game from the Portman Road stands after picking up a touchline ban - saw his team stay in 15th place.
