Leicester 1-1 West Brom

West Brom surrendered vital ground in the race for promotion from the Coca-Cola Championship as resurgent Leicester narrowly failed to secure a deserved victory.

Listen to post-match interviews with City Manager Rob Kelly and Gareth McAuley and Jon Barber's match summary.

Foxes defender Gareth McAuley headed home 10 minutes before the break to cancel out a penalty won and converted by Diomansy Kamara.

That was the end of the scoring but not the action as Leicester, rejuvenated by Milan Mandaric's recent takeover, came within a whisker of recording a fourth successive victory.

"I was actually a bit disappointed we didn't edge it, certainly in the second half, but I thought it was a typical tough, competitive Midlands derby."
Rob Kelly, City Manager

They battered Albion without reward in the second-half and were only denied victory by some poor finishing and dubious officiating from Uriah Rennie.

Despite almost beating the table leaders, City Manager Rob Kelly isn't completely satisfied:

"I was actually a bit disappointed we didn't edge it, certainly in the second half, but I thought it was a typical tough, competitive Midlands derby.

"I think it has shown in a short period of time, since the last month or two, how far we've come - that we're coming away, that we're now competing with the team who are top of the division, and I thought we more than matched them on the day."
