Leonardo Ulloa's stoppage-time penalty salvaged a point for 10-man Leicester as West Ham threatened to derail the Foxes' Premier League title charge.

Leonardo Ulloa scored a 95th minute equaliser for Leicester

Jamie Vardy's first-half strike gave the hosts the lead before he received a second yellow card in the 56th minute for a dive in the penalty area.
Andy Carroll equalised from the spot before Aaron Cresswell smashed home a brilliant second from outside the area.
But with seconds left Ulloa converted after Carroll had fouled Jeff Schlupp.
