Leicester City Snares an Impossible Point

Leicester City is well known for doing what is well and truly unexpected of them.

It may not happen often, but the Foxes have a way of being dramatic when it does.

One such instance was today, when they hosted Premiership newbies AFC Bournemouth.

Dudes scored an incredibly late equalizer -- as in the seventh minute of added time garner a 1-1 stalemate.

It does kinda reek of home cookin', doesn't it?

No one will dispute the Premiership being the highest-energy league in football, so when a match is extended that long, it's gotta be a total drain on the players.

It's not just the big brands that give fans value for money, either. This is the beauty of the Premiership, and this match was a classic example.

 

The Cherries grabbed an early lead when Joshua King converted a hard-earned penalty in the 35th minute:

That held up for the full 90.

And for the next six minutes.

Bournemouth must've been checking to see if the referee still had a whistle by then. Sure enough, he did.

Sixty ticks later -- in the 97th minute -- Riyad Mahrez happened. A beautifully deceived freekick found its way into the Bournemouth net, and King Power Stadium erupted:

City are still full of shocks.

And the Cherries could use a recharge.
