Hull City 2-2 Leicester City: Jamie Vardy rescues draw for Championship leaders

Jamie Vardy restored Leicester City's three-point lead at the top of the Championship by scoring both of the Foxes' goals in a battling draw at Hull.

The 37-year-old former England international's 14th and 15th goals of the campaign helped Leicester twice come from a goal down in a tense match against their fellow promotion hopefuls.

Hull's Fabio Carvalho had an early penalty saved by Leicester goalkeeper Mads Hermansen, but quickly made amends by punishing the Foxes for some sloppy play to put the hosts ahead with a cool finish.

A clumsy challenge from Jean Seri on Abdul Fatawu then allowed Vardy to equalise from the penalty spot before the break.
