With 86 minutes on the clock and Leicester trailing 1-0 against newly promoted Ipswich Town, manager Steve Cooper decided to take action.

Cooper served a one-match suspension after picking up his third yellow card of the season when his team lost to Manchester United in the EFL Cup in midweek, and perhaps his view from the stands helped him get a better view. of what is developing in the field.

Forward Jordan Ayew replaced defender Victor Kristiansen and scored in the 94th minute of the match to justify Cooper’s bold move and rescue a point for the visiting team.

Ayew’s two Premier League goals this season came in second-half stoppage time (98th minute at Southampton and 94th minute at Ipswich).

If Leicester are to remain in the league, picking up points against such opposition will be vital, especially ahead of another tough trip to Old Trafford next Sunday (14:00 GMT).
