Leicester City have drawn 2-2 by Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League.
After picking up their first win under new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy in midweek, the Foxes continued their unbeaten start under the Dutchman.
Fabian Huzler’s men were the dominant side at the King Power Stadium, taking a well-deserved lead just before the half-time break, thanks to a screamer from Tariq Lamptey.
Yankuba Minteh would make it two in the second-half before two last-ditch goals from Jamie Vardy and Bobby Decordova-Reid.
There were a number of mixed performances from the Leicester first-team, and Leicester City News ranks those performances below.

Mads Hermansen – 6
Made some fine saves from the likes of Estupiñán. The Dane however, had no chance when it came to preventing Lamptey’s screamer.
James Justin – 6
Bright performance from the full-back. He was unlucky not to get himself on the scoresheet, with Verbruggen expertly saving his header just before half-time.
Conor Coady – 6
Coady did not do too much wrong against Brighton, keeping Ferguson quiet all afternoon.
Jannik Vestergaard – 5
After a lengthy period away from the first-team, Vestergaard looked a bit shaky up against the Brighton attack.
Victor Kristiansen – 7
The Dane was a bright spot in a frustrating afternoon for the Foxes. His lung-busting runs down the left-hand flank was one of Leicester’s main outlets.
Boubakary Soumare – 6
Helped shield the Leicester backline well, alongside Ndidi in the first half. The Frenchman however failed to progress the ball, with much of his play going sideways or backwards.
Wilfred Ndidi – 6
One of Leicester’s best performers, no doubt. The Nigerian did his best thwart to Brighton’s attack, before going off injured.
Kasey McAteer – 6
Was bright down the right-hand flank, giving Estupiñán a few problems. McAteer however, like many Leicester players, failed to provide the killer pass needed.
Jordan Ayew – 3
Van Nistlerooy’s decision to start Ayew has come back to bite the Dutchman. Ayew was totally absent throughout, providing little to nothing going forward.
Bilal El Khannouss – 5
Struggled to get into the game. The youngster seems to have not struck up that partnership with Vardy just yet.
Jamie Vardy – 8
Had to feed off scraps for the majority of the game, but never stopped working. Vardy was the key player in Leicester’s unlikely comeback, with a goal and a assist.
