Internet Desk: Leicester survived a huge scare to their hopes of winning the Premier League after Leonardo Ulloa scored a late penalty to earn them a 2-2 draw with West Ham after Jamie Vardy was sent off.

The Foxes took the lead through Vardy but the striker was sent off after Jonathan Moss handed him a second yellow card for diving inside the Hammers’s penalty area.

West Ham took advantage of Vardy’s dismissal and won a spot-kick of their own, which in-form forward Andy Carroll converted to a goal to restore parity.

The Irons went in front moments later after Aaron Cresswell blasted home a superb strike, before Carroll conceded a penalty on Jeffrey Schlupp and Ulloa made no mistake as he rescued a vital point for Leicester.

Two minutes later Aaron Cresswell scored a stunning goal for the Hammers with a fierce shot from the edge of the box which flew past keeper Kasper Schmeichel, but Leicester equalised with virtually the last kick of the game when Leonardo Ulloa scored from the spot after Carroll fouled Jeffrey Schlupp.
