| Jamie Vardy secures Leicester point at Britannia Stadium |
LEICESTER maintained their unbeaten start to the season as a second-half fightback secured them a 2-2 draw at Stoke, denying the Potters their first Premier League win.
The hosts had been firmly in control, taking the lead in the 13th minute when the fit-again Bojan Krkic slotted home, before Jonathan Walters pounced on a Wes Morgan error to make it 2-0 seven minutes later.
But Leicester reduced the deficit in the 51st minute through Riyad Mahrez's penalty after Marko Arnautovic bundled over Danny Drinkwater in the box.
And Jamie Vardy then notched the equaliser in the 69th.
The Foxes went into this game second in the table and with their boss Claudio Ranieri having promised to buy them pizza if they kept the first clean sheet of their impressive campaign.
They showed little appetite for that in a poor first-half performance before once again producing a comeback to salvage something from the game - just as they have done in their last three league fixtures.
Stoke, meanwhile, must reflect on a great opportunity missed to get a monkey off their back as they remain winless and in the relegation zone.
