At the moment Leicester needed, Riyad Mahrez became the player of old. Found by Islam Slimani’s knock-down, the Algerian knew his mind and had the skill to execute.
Mahrez chested the ball and drove a finish into the bottom corner, bringing his team level with less than ten minutes remaining.
Having been dropped for Leicester’s last game, Mahrez celebrated his first goal since May by running to the dugout as if a point had been proved.
