Mahrez leaves it late to earn Leicester a point

Riyad Mahrez saved Leicester from defeat with a last-gasp goal to salvage a point from a 1-1 Premier League draw with Bournemouth.
It looked like Josh King's first half penalty would be enough for the Cherries to take all three points after they deservedly took the lead at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester had chances to equalise and it looked like they would be denied, until Mahrez struck from 25 yards out deep into injury time.
Claude Puel's side began the game brightly but struggled to make a breakthrough against a stubborn, organised Bournemouth defence.
The visitors were dangerous on the counter-attack though and Junior Stanislas should have done better than shoot straight at Kasper Schmeichel with a clear sight of goal.
