Sky Blues rally to deny Leicester
An inspired second-half comeback from Coventry earned a point in an enthralling 2-2 draw with local rivals Leicester in the Coca-Cola Championship.
Anything other than an emphatic Leicester win looked unlikely at the interval as a scintillating first-half display outlined their promotion credentials, with Andy King scoring both inside the opening 20 minutes.
But the Sky Blues had other ideas and reduced their arrears through James McPake's sweet volley after the break.
And as they threw everything forward in the final 10 minutes in a bid to draw level, they were rewarded in the 87th minute when Gary Deegan tapped in from close range.
The draw sees Leicester move into fourth place on the back of a run of one defeat in 12 and needing a major capitulation if they are to miss out on the play-offs.
Coventry's faint hopes of a top-six berth remain intact after the point, but they will realistically have to record a flawless run-in if they are to make it.
