10-men Leicester City keeps title dream alive with last-second equalizer

eicester City stretched its lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points by salvaging a a dramatic 2-2 draw with West Ham after star striker Jamie Vardy was shown a red card after scoring in the first half.

A great start for Leicester City went sour in the second half with Vardy's red card for diving. After Vardy was sent off and Leicester was down to 10 men, West Ham scored twice and was on the verge of sending the Foxes to just their fourth loss in league, but a controversial penalty call (and equalizer) handed the hosts a valuable point. Here's how it went down.

Vardy's opener on 18 minutes.

The Vardy red card early in the second half.

A penalty kick and goal for West Ham's Andy Carroll 84 minutes in.

Then West Ham's Aaron Cresswell scored this beauty for a late 2-1 lead.

Fighting to come back, Robert Huth was taken down in the box with almost a chokeslam, but no call from the ref.

And then, a possible make-up call here resulting in a penalty kick and goal, as Leonardo Ulloa finished past Adrian.

What a heart-pumping match, and a great comeback from being down a man. Luck is on Leicester's side, and a big-time trophy may be in the club's trophy case before long.

Tottenham, who is in second place, can cut the lead to five on Monday when it plays Stoke City.
