Leicester City 0-0 AFC Bournemouth: Mahrez penalty miss costs hosts

Leicester City failed to win or score for the third consecutive Premier League match as it was held by AFC Bournemouth.

Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty as Leicester City lost ground at the top of the Premier League by being held to a 0-0 draw by 10-man AFC Bournemouth.

Josh King headed wide from a great Bournemouth chance, while Jamie Vardy hit the post for Leicester in an end-to-end first half.

The hosts were much stronger after the break, but Mahrez's spot kick was saved by Artur Boruc after Simon Francis had been sent off for a challenge on Vardy.
