Leicester City’s title charge took a blow after they were held at home to a resilient West Brom outfit.
The away team took a shock lead on 11 minutes when Solomon Rondon expertly put the ball through Kasper Schmeichel’s legs, after Darren Fletcher’s superb pass.
The home side rallied and found a fortuitous equaliser through a deflected Danny Drinkwater strike that looped over Ben Foster.
Moments before half-tim Leicester put themselves in front, following a sublime first time pass from Riyad Mahrez to set up Andy King for a cleverly curled finish to the far corner.

On 50 minutes West Brom scored a superb equaliser from a wonderful free-kick which left Schmeichel rooted to the spot.
Leicester pushed hard for a winner, notably with Shinji Okazaki hitting the post and Wes Morgan forcing Foster into a strong save from six yards out.
The Foxes failed to find a third goal and had to settle for a point that means they go three points clear of Tottenham and six above Arsenal, who both play tomorrow.

With how crazy this season has been, I thought that Mahrez bike attempt was the game winner. #lcfc

Not the worst result against a difficult Brom, created loads and unlucky not to have scored more. Onto Watford #lcfc

Gah, a point is a point and that's better than none. The chasing pack will drop points too. #lcfc #leiwba

West Brom are a weird team, they dont over/under achieve, they dont actually do anything special but manage to stay in the league with ease

That said Wes Morgan really should've gone far post w/ his chance. And the Japanese fella should've gotten his header under the post. #lcfc
