Standout star's brace salvages Stoke City | OneFootball

Ben Wilmot headed in the third minute and later struck a late equaliser, his brace earning Stoke City a 2-2 draw with Leicester City.

He rose to glance in Aaron Cresswell's delivery (3.). Moments later he met another cross but nodded over from close range (8.).

After the restart he stayed alive in the box, turning in Lamine Cissé's pass to level late on (89.). That finish capped a display that repeatedly unsettled the Foxes at set pieces and in crowded areas.

Wilmot, a defender, combined penalty box impact with back line authority. He registered three attempts, two on target, and added five clearances and five aerials won, underlining how he handled Leicester's aerial traffic while providing Stoke City's cutting edge.

Because Stoke City loaded deliveries towards him and he attacked space aggressively, his movement kept the Foxes off balance and ensured Mark Robins' side always had a route back.

Stoke City host Oxford United next. The Foxes visit Middlesbrough next.
