Leicester City player ratings v Bristol City as quartet earn seven after two-goal lead squandered | OneFootball

Leicester City squandered a two-goal lead to draw at Bristol City, missing the chance to move within a point of the play-offs. Their superb first half unravelled immediately after the restart.

According to LeicesterMercury.co.uk, the result keeps pressure on Marti Cifuentes, with City still in the bottom half before Ipswich on Saturday. With injuries mounting and Harry Winks omitted again, he made one change, Hamza Choudhury for Ricardo Pereira.

Jakub Stolarczyk saved early from Emil Riis after a Luke Thomas misjudged clearance, then City took control. Stephy Mavididi headed against the bar and won a penalty that Jordan Ayew chipped. After a scrappy spell, including Cameron Pring heading onto the roof, Abdul Fatawu teed up De Cordova-Reid, who did not celebrate.

Within a minute of the restart, Mark Sykes finished at the near post after Jannik Vestergaard’s block left a loose ball. Rob Dickie’s flick from a corner was diverted onto the bar by team-mate Sinclair Armstrong around the hour. With 10 minutes left Emil Riis outmanoeuvred Vestergaard to head in at the near post.

The hosts chased a winner, but Adam Randell’s strike was pushed away by Jakub Stolarczyk and the points were shared. In the ratings, Hamza Choudhury, Abdul Fatawu, Bobby De Cordova-Reid and Stephy Mavididi each earned seven, while Patson Daka received four. Stolarczyk was busy, though he might rue the two near-post concessions.
