Leonardo Ulloa scored from the penalty spot in the fifth minute of injury-time to earn 10-man Leicester a dramatic 2-2 draw with West Ham.
The Foxes' title hopes looked to be derailed by two West Ham goals in the last 10 minutes as Andy Carroll's penalty (84) and Aaron Cresswell's screamer (86) turned Sunday's Premier League clash on its head.
Jamie Vardy's first-half strike had given Leicester the lead but he was sent off for a second yellow card on 56 minutes after being penalised for diving.
But the title favourites showed character to claw themselves back into the game, with Ulloa snatching a point at the death from the penalty spot, after Carroll was adjudged to have fouled Jeff Schlupp.
Claudio Ranieri's men remain top of the league and eight points points clear of second-placed Tottenham, who have the chance to close the gap to five points with victory at Stoke on Monday Night Football.
