Stoke City 2-2 Leicester City: Mahrez & Vardy keep Ranieri’s men on a roll

Stoke City let a two-goal lead slip as Leicester City fought back to earn a point in a 2-2 Premier League draw at the Britannia Stadium. 

Mark Hughes' side were looking for their first Premier League win of the season, following a disappointing run of results, and looked like clinching it early on. 

First half goals from Bojan Krkic, returning from a knee ligament injury sustained in January, and Jonathan Walters put the Potters in front and looking comfortable at half-time.

But Leicester fought back after the break, as a clumsy challenge by Marko Arnautovic brought down Danny Drinkwater to gift Riyad Mahrez a penalty that he duly converted on 51 minutes. 

The equaliser then came from England interntional Jamie Vardy, latching onto a Robert Huth pass to slot past Jack Butland in the Stoke net.
