Leicester City were left frustrated after a dominant performance yielded only a draw against MK Dons at Stadium MK. The result, reported by sports.yahoo.com, leaves the Foxes 21st in League One with just two points from their opening three games.
Manager Russell Martin, 40, saw his side control 76% of possession but fail to convert their superiority into a victory. The team's form reads DLD, and they have scored only two goals while conceding three this season. This leaves them five points adrift of early leaders Blackpool.
Which Leicester players missed key chances?
Two clear opportunities defined the match's outcome for Leicester City. Bobby De Cordova-Reid missed an open goal from close range, a moment that would have likely secured all three points. Later, young midfielder Sammy Braybrooke saw his effort strike the post, denying the visitors a late winner.
These missed chances underscored a recurring issue in the early part of the campaign. You can view the team's offensive and defensive statistics on our stats page.
