Leicester City were held to a 2-2 draw by Stevenage in League One on Saturday. The result leaves Russell Martin's side 11th in the table on 18 points after 12 games, seven points behind leaders Huddersfield. Their record stands at five wins, three draws and four losses, with a goal difference of plus three having scored 20 and conceded 17.
Braybrooke gave Leicester an early lead after just two minutes, finishing from a Alves assist. Ben Broggio levelled for the visitors midway through the first half. Doyle restored the Foxes' advantage in the 66th minute, but Tugra Turhan's late strike 12 minutes later secured a point for Stevenage. This result followed a 3-0 victory over Wigan and a 2-1 loss to Luton in the preceding week.
Match statistics
Leicester dominated the contest statistically, enjoying 66 percent of possession and registering 17 shots to Stevenage's eight. They also forced 11 corners and saw seven of their efforts hit the target. Stevenage's keeper made five saves, while Leicester's McCarthy was called into action twice. The home side's expected goals tally of 2.12 reflected their greater threat.
Manager's view
The draw extends Leicester's recent form to three wins, one draw and one loss from their last five league outings. This sequence includes the 2-2 draw with Stevenage, the 3-0 win against Wigan, a 2-1 defeat at Luton, a 4-0 victory at Bromley, and a 2-1 home win over Doncaster. Top scorer Emil Riis, who has six goals in eight appearances this season, was in the starting lineup but could not add to his tally. The team's next league assignment is a home fixture against fourth-placed Bradford on Saturday 14 November. Before that, they travel to face Oxford City in the FA Cup on Friday, November 6.
