Leicester City managed to draw 2-2 with Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. They were two goals down but managed to pull it back thanks to late goals from captain Jamie Vardy and winger Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Brighton seemed set to secure their first away Premier League win at Leicester, but had to settle for just a point, moving up to seventh place in the table. The newly-promoted hosts are currently 16th, with 14 points.

Vardy, 37, got the comeback going when he scored in the 86th minute. He finished a deflected pass from Jamaica international De Cordova-Reid into the bottom right corner to reduce Leicester's deficit.

De Cordova-Reid scored a goal of his own in added time to level things up, much to the delight of the home fans. He tapped in Vardy's square pass, ensuring new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy remains unbeaten so far.

Right back Tariq Lamptey put the visitors in the lead in the 37th minute with a great left-footed strike, curling the ball into the far top corner from outside the box after cutting inside following a clever pass from Pervis Estupiñán.

Winger Yankuba Minteh made it 2-0 in the 79th minute after Brighton had missed a couple of chances.

Brighton forward Joao Pedro missed a chance in the first half, volleying wide of the left post from about 10 metres out after Lamptey crossed it to him. Striker Evan Ferguson had also passed the ball to Kaoru Mitoma, but the winger missed the target.

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen didn't have much to do until the 44th minute, when he dived full stretch to push a powerful header by unmarked fullback James Justin wide.

Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler didn't make excuses for his south-coast side, who had looked comfortable for the majority of the game.

"We need to be more mature and finish off the games. You can't explain it sometimes. We can also see it as an opportunity to show character," the 31-year-old German told the BBC.

"We had enough chances to lead more. We have to be really careful talking about the performance. We have to trust the process and we will reflect this and look at the positives. A big part is game management. We have to improve.

"It's our fault and we have to take responsibility. I'm not a guy who will find excuses."
