Jakub Stolarczyk kept Leicester in front before the interval, saving from Anis Mehmeti. The goalkeeper later denied Dara O'Shea's header in second half stoppage time as the Tractor Boys pressed.

Introduced just past the hour, Sindre Egeli levelled with a left-footed finish from the centre of the box (76.).

The Tractor Boys dominated long spells, posting 64.4% possession and 18 attempts, along with 10 corners. The Foxes mustered seven attempts and made 50 clearances under pressure.

Leicester climb from 23rd to 22nd with the point. Next, the Tractor Boys visit Stoke City. The Foxes host Bristol City.
