Jamie Vardy restored Leicester City's three-point lead at the top of the Championship by scoring both of the Foxes' goals in a battling draw at Hull.
Hull's Fabio Carvalho had an early penalty saved by Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, but quickly made amends by punishing the Foxes for some sloppy play to put the hosts ahead with a cool finish. And after Anass Zaroury restored Hull's lead with a fierce low second-half finish, Vardy hit back immediately with a goal that salvaged a crucial point to protect Leicester's lead at the summit.The hard-fought draw came in Leicester's first game since it was revealed they are subject of an ongoing English Football League inquiry into a possible breach of profitability and sustainability rules.
But after Yunus Akgun fired wastefully over at the other end - to the visible frustration of Vardy, who was well placed to link up with the Turkey international - Carvalho pounced on a mistake from Wout Faes on the edge of the Foxes' box before smashing a low finish past the onrushing Hermansen.
