EPL: Stoke City 2-2 Leicester City

Peter Crouch (C) celebrates with team-mates after Stoke draw level

Peter Crouch came off the bench to rescue a point for Stoke from a 2-2 draw against Leicester after the Foxes had twice taken the lead.

The game burst into life after Vicente Iborra fired the visitors ahead from a corner on 33 minutes following Harry Maguire's knockdown that Jack Butland could only help on its way into the net.

However, Stoke hit back when Xherdan Shaqiri slotted home a lovely finish as the game entered half-time all square.

Leicester found themselves ahead again on the hour after Riyad Mahrez weaved his way into the box to finish although Butland will feel he should have done better as the ball squirmed under him.

Crouch entered the fray accompanied with a formation change for Stoke, changing from a 3-4-3 to a 4-4-2, and it eventually led to their second equaliser in the 73rd minute.

Shaqiri whipped in a corner and Crouch rose highest to hammer home an emphatic header. There was a late chance for Stoke to steal a winner but Schmeichel was able to keep out a goal-bound Kurt Zouma header.
