Win at home, draw away = Champions League positions. Disappointing that Schmeichel saved the penalty, but we can't be greedy.

Leicester away and we earned a point. No brainer.

Lamptey was superb and Stephens must start every game. He is vital in midfield for us.

And don't forget. Our goal difference is worth another point.

Given dunks was a pen and Stephens should have been sent off twice, it’s a point gained.

We didn’t have any form of shot in the last 43 mins.

Huge point (worth two, factoring our goal difference) at the team in 3rd in the top division in the country.

Fantastic performance and result.

I'll take beating Arsenal and drawing away to the recent Champions of England in the space of a few days to losing in the rain on a terrace at Belle Vue

If we had scored the penalty, it would only have made them angry.

Go ahead and draw at any point = two points dropped.
Fall behind and draw (not going ahead at any point) = point won
Neither team take a lead = Depends on prematch expectations from as dispassionate a place as possible, and performance (may or may not be impacted by passion).

Expectations from a dispassionate place: Leicester are top 3. They are currently one of the divisions big boys. We have just ended a winless run stretching back to the new year (focusing on games played, rather than time passed, obv). They have a lot of great players, have a very good home record, we have a bad away record.
Performance: Surprising to see we had less possession than them in the first half, but it certainly felt we were more in control and dominant. The penalty had a good amount of power, if not as much as we liked, so I think it's harsh to be too critical of it. Keeper goes the other way and talk about a confident finish. However it was early, and didn't feel like missing it changed the game much. Second half they had the better of it, it was a great defensive performance from us, though not necessarily a great footballing performance.

So all in all, a point won.

I've just checked the Premier League table and I can confirm, we definitely gained a point.

Point gained, 100%.

Away draw to a top six side - a side which generally gives us particular problems by the way they play (loads of pace, running rings round our slower players).
