    GOAL: Leicester 2-1 Coventrypublished at 87 mins

    Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

    HE'S DONE IT AGAIN!

    What a second half we have had here!

    Maybe one minute after Haji Wright hit the crossbar down the other end have the home side won it?

    It's good build-up play from the Foxes and eventually Stephy Mavididi rolls it into Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's feet in the area and he lashes home a super strike into the top corner.

    Now Coventry hit the bar!

    WOW.

    Haji Wright storms forward from the halfway line and leathers a slightly-deflected shot at goal that Mads Hermansen touches on to the crossbar.

    SO close!

    Leicester pour forward and Kelechi Iheanacho shows lovely feet before teeing up Kiernan Dewsbury-hall to whip a shot in at the near post.

    Ben Wilson is scrambling across in the Coventry goal but, to his relief, it hits the sidenetting.

    That's changed the mood a little.

    Goals change games.

    And, from trailing a long way second in this contest, Leicester City have come off the final bend with a surge and are now powering down the home straight. And, they have the loud backing of their fans behind them.

    Cov may now be regretting some of those earlier missed chances.

    You just feel Coventry are just starting to look at the clock here.

    The home side have been reinvigorated by that goal.

    Ten minutes (plus stoppages) to go in this hugely entertaining game.

    This could go either way... or end in a draw.

    I'm not a betting man as you can tell.

    Leicester 1-1 Coventry

    That goal has woken the home fans up.

    Can their side find a winner now?!

    Goalscorer Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall makes a yard for a shot but hammers it into the crowd.

    Leicester 0-1 Coventry

    Leicester skipper Jamie Vardy has really struggled to get in the game all day and he's off.

    Kelechi Iheanacho is on.

    Leicester still have four changes at their disposal and Patson Daka and Kelechi Iheanacho on the bench.

    Gustavo Hamer was one of the three to go off for Coventry just there.

    My, Leicester will be happy to see the back of him. A brilliant showing from the talented midfielder today.

  19. SUBSTITUTIONpublished at 70 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Coventry

    About 20 minutes to go.

    This game is end-to-end. Leicester are wide open in the middle of the park.

    TRIPLE Coventry substitution.

    Liam Kelly, Milan van Ewijk and Haji Wright are on. The latter two for debut.

  20. YELLOW CARDpublished at 68 mins

    Leicester 0-1 Coventry

    Callum Doyle, who was on loan at Coventry last season, marks his Leicester debut with a booking for a cynical foul.

    From the resultant free-kick Gustavo Hamer goes for goal from about 40 yards out and... Probably not worth doing that again.
