Leicester City 1 West Ham 1: Ndidi leveller denies 10-man Hammers

Leicester City avoided a third consecutive defeat as Mark Noble's red card eventually proved costly for West Ham in a 1-1 draw.

Wilfred Ndidi's late deflected strike salvaged a 1-1 Premier League draw for Leicester City against 10-man West Ham at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Fabian Balbuena had earlier handed the Hammers a first-half lead, scoring his first goal for the club following his move from Corinthians with a close-range finish.

Their cause was made more difficult in the 38th minute when Mark Noble received a straight red card for raking his studs down Ndidi's calf.
