The Foxes get back level thanks to Jamie Vardy's well-taken finish from a cross to make it 1-1 against Nottingham Forest at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester City fell to Nottingham Forest by a score of 3-1 at the King Power on Friday evening. The match was level at the half, with Jamie Vardy cancelling Ryan Yates’ opening.
