Thanks to Leonardo Ulloa scoring from the penalty shot, Leicester City, which is one man short after a controversial send-off, recovers from the West Ham's 2-1 lead, wrapping up the match with a 2-2 draw.

During the bout, goal keeper Jamie Vardy was sent off after raising his finger to referee Jon Moss, who handed him his second yellow card in the game pronouncing that Vardy dived and was looking for a foul.

According to Goal.com, the Leicester City top scorer even uttered explicit words against Moss, which, should the referee include in his post-match report, will get Vardy in more trouble.

At the moment, Vardy won't be joining Leicester City in their battle against Swansea City next Saturday as part of his punishment. But before getting kicked out of the bout against the West Ham, it was he who scored one goal for Leicester City.

This was before Ulloa sealed the 2-2 deal by outmanuevering West Ham goalkeeper Adrian in a penalty shot due to Jeffrey Schlupp being jostled off the ball by Andy Carroll, who, in turn, claimed it was Moss's way to "even it up" for Leicester with Vardy's exit.

"I mean, it is a bad decision, it is bad decisions he has given all game. When we had our penalty, Wes Morgan said, 'He doesn't know what he's doing, he's been bad all game,'" Carroll said via The Guardian.

Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri shied away from making comments on Vardy's deemed uncalled-for red card, but he did acknowledge the Leicester City star scorer's exit turned the tables in the bout.

"The sending-off changed the whole match, but I judge my players, not the referee," Ranieri said. "This was our soul, we play every match with blood, heart and soul. It was magnificent," the coach added.

The draw breaks off Leicester City's five-game winning streak but the team still has an eight-point lead over second-placer Tottenham, which is taking on Stoke City today, April 18.
