– Jamie Vardy reacts to Leicester City’s 2-2 draw with Hull City at MKM Stadium
– The Foxes are top of the Sky Bet Championship by three points with nine games to go
– City’s No.9 scored a brace to earn City point in East Yorkshire having twice been behind
The Foxes showed their powers of recovery twice on Saturday, having to respond to goals from Fábio Carvalho and Anass Zaroury, in order to draw 2-2 at MKM Stadium and remain top of the Sky Bet Championship. Mads Hermansen’s penalty save also contributed to picking up a point in East Yorkshire.
“We knew it was going to be difficult,” the 37-year-old explained following full-time. “Each game is. We’ve come here, weathered a bit of a storm to start with and, at the end of the day, we’ve got a point that we will take home with us./origin-imgresizer.eurosport.com/2015/10/24/1718586-36370104-2560-1440.jpg?w=640&ssl=1)
“It wasn’t a perfect start, the penalty, and then Hull scoring. But again, it showed the spirit of the side that they came back not once, but twice. We’ve seen it back and, to be honest, it looks like the initial contact for their penalty is all outside the box.
“The ref gave it and it’s just something you have to get on with. And we’ve got in at half-time level and then another quick set-back in the second half but managed to pull it back again. I think after that you could see that we were trying to get three points.”
City’s No.9 scored both of Leicester’s goals to take his tally of league strikes this term to 13 in 26 matches. The manner of the result was satisfying, given the way Enzo Maresca’s side showed their character to get back into the contest.
