Leicester draw with Brighton to snap scoreless losing streak

Stephy Mavididi and Caleb Okoli scored for Leicester City as they twice came from behind to grab a 2-2 draw at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday and end a run of eight Premier League losses without scoring.

The shadow of relegation still hangs heavy over Leicester, who are 19th in the table on 18 points, two behind Ipswich Town and 14 adrift of Wolverhampton Wanderers in 17th spot with seven games left. Brighton are ninth on 48 points.

Joao Pedro struck from the penalty spot in the 31st minute after Conor Coady handled the ball, but Leicester levelled through the lively Mavididi seven minutes later, their first league goal since a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur on January 26.

Pedro scored again from the spot 10 minutes after the break following a foul by Luke Thomas on Matt O'Riley, but Okoli stole in behind the defensive line to head home a free kick in the 74th minute and secure a deserved point for the visitors.
