Clarets denied all three points in four goal thriller in Leicester The Clarets were denied a first Premier League win of the season by a late Jamie Vardy goal in a thrilling 2-2 draw with Leicester City.

 It looked as if the Clarets were on for a deserved first league victory of the campaign after a brilliant goal from Maxwel Cornet just before half-time had put them 2-1 to the good.

 It was the second time the Clarets had led, Vardy earlier scoring an own goal from an Ashley Westwood corner, before equalising for City.

 Cornet’s first strike in English football, a first-class volley at the back post, put the visitors back on top but six minutes from time Leicester striker Vardy scored his second to make it 2-2.

 It then looked like Chris Wood had struck in the dying seconds to secure a dramatic win but VAR ruled his strike to be offside, leaving Sean Dyche and his team to settle for a point.

 The manager kept Cornet and Matej Vydra in the starting line-up following their efforts in the 4-1 cup win against Rochdale in midweek and was rewarded when both combined for the Ivorian’s wonderful strike to give them the lead.

Cornet scores a cracker but unfortunately has to go off with some sort of hamstring problem, hope he is going to be OK. Once again we do all the hard work and can't manage to keep em out for the last few minutes, Vardy again it's always him.
Oh well one more point and Norwich up next.

Vardy doing what he does best; latching onto through balls....

Will Cornet be our saviour?
