13 - Chilwell to safety

The former Huddersfield loanee hunts down Kachunga on the right flank and clears the ball into the stands. Good defending.

14 - Vardy cross too deep

City come forward through Albrighton, who slips in Vardy in the right channel. The striker stands it up to the back post, but there's just too much on it and it goes out of play via the foot of Iheanacho.

Wilfred Ndidi

Ndidi closes down Huddersfield's Mooy.

Both outfits are happy to get forward here at John Smith's Stadium. Still goalless.

42 - Mahrez!

The Algerian takes it, but his strike is blocked by the Huddersfield wall. Unlucky.

43 - IHEANACHO!

He turns and shoots in the box after Morgan had nodded it down, but it's blocked by Mooy. So close.

44 - Vardy off target

Another effort from City sees their No.9 hook a strike just wide of the Huddersfield upright. Much better from the Foxes here.

64 - Williams!

The Huddersfield midfielder flashes an effort just wide of the mark. Gray coming on for City.

Ben Chilwell

The left back surges forward against his former side.

There's just over 20 minutes left to play.

90 - Slimani off target

The Algerian finds space on the edge of the box, but his left-footed effort curls high and wide.

Full-time

It finishes all-square at John Smith's Stadium, as Jamie Vardy's penalty cancels out Laurent Depoitre's opener.

If you’d have offered me a point at half-time, I’d have taken it. They dominated in the first half, but I have to give our players credit. We showed strength and character and responded.

We'll take the point, says the manager

We’ve played better and got nothing. We’ll take the point and move onto Liverpool on Tuesday.
