Foxes grab late point

10 November 2010 22:30
Mark Yeates went from hero to villain for Sheffield United as Leicester rescued a 2-2 draw in controversial fashion at the Walkers Stadium. After Paul Gallagher had fired the Foxes into an early lead, Yeates popped up with two first-half goals of his own - the second a glorious 25-yard free-kick - to turn the match on its head. United looked set to hold on for a valuable victory as a dogged defensive display kept the hosts at bay after the interval. But Yeates was then penalised for handball in the area by referee Phil Gibbs - a decision the visitors strongly protested against - and substitute Steve Howard made no mistake from 12 yards to earn Leicester a share of the spoils. The Blades remain 21st in the table as a result, while Leicester move up one place to 17th.
