A chance missed you have to say. 

Riyad Mahrez saw a spot-kick saved and Leicester have only themselves to blame as they slip to just two points from a possible nine over the recent period.

Eddie Howe is on the pitch protesting with the referee after seeing his side reduced to 10 men when Simon Francis was sent off. An entertaining goalless draw and Arsenal are the real winners it seems.

And surely that will be it as Artur Boruc clasps another cross to his chest.

Jamie Vardy goes down in the box and wants a penalty... nothing doing. It was a tangle of legs but the striker seemed to run across his man.

Steve Cook is well-placed to clear another ball into the box.

That was before kick-off. Once again Bournemouth have out-ran their opponents. They've clocked 114km as a team as I write this compared to 111km by the home side.

As the 90 minutes ticks up Claudio Ranieri waves furiously at his players to get the ball forward.

We expect four minutes of added time... and that's what the board says.

Riyad Mahrez... double step over as he enters the area... can he wiggle space? He does but Artur Boruc again denies him.

Corner... flicked on by Jamie Vardy... just wide.

Leicester continue to push and build pressure as Jamie Vardy hangs a cross up to the back stick which has to be headed behind.

Christian Fuchs tried to whip the corner straight in with Artur Boruc off his line... side netting.

What a finish we will have here.

Richie de Laet down the right flank, his first involvement... drills a ball across goal and it's turned wide by N'Golo Kante.

That is not good news for Leicester. They need a goal or the gap at the top will stretch to two points.

The Japanese forward replaced Marc Albrighton a short time ago and nearly had a telling impact.

You can see the change in territory now...

The home side are taking Danny Simpson off at right-back for Richie de Laet. Like for like it seems but fresh legs I guess.

Another win would be priceless for Claudio Ranieri's side.

I've just realised I have Riyad Mahrez in my fantasy football team. Docked points for a missed penalty I'd guess? Not good.

Charlie Daniels gets forward down the Bournemouth left, there's very little on so why not? He has a crack which floats harmlessly wide.

At the other end Danny Simpson makes a charging run and gets picked out, into the area he bursts to deliver a low cross which is held by Artur Boruc.

Junior Stanislas has taken a heavy landing and needs some treatment from the Bournemouth bench. Eddie Howe cuts a frustrated figure, his brow is furrowed as he gets a new stick of gum.

This is a must-win for Leicester City now you feel. Even by Claudio Ranieri's pessimistic view, they have the chance to pass the hallowed 40-point mark.

It's one-way traffic and you get the sense Bournemouth will need to maximise the use of set plays. Leicester have a corner for now... it's cleared as far as N'Golo Kante... over the bar from 25 yards.

Former Spurs striker on Final Score

“I thought it was a great tackle. Jamie Vardy is quick. He’s in front of Simon Francis, and the defender now has a choice to make. Is he going to tackle, or is he going to let Vardy get a shot in on goal. He chooses to make the tackle.

"He grapples with the player, but he makes contact on the ball. It’s bad enough to give away the penalty, I’m not sure the referee needs to send off Simon Francis. I have seen referees give the penalty and not send the player off. Where's the discretion?”

No magical 21 for Riyad... yet.

Another look at the penalty and it looks the right call. The only question is was it in the box? The initial contact may have been outside. Simon Francis has stayed near the tunnel to watch after his red card.

Leicester are buoyed now despite the penalty miss. One-way traffic as you may expect. Sylvain Distin is coming on for Harry Arter as Bournemouth fill the Francis-shaped hole in their back four.
