Veteran Vardy's late goal secures Leicester a point against wasteful Spurs

LEICESTER, England - In an exciting Premier League season opener on Aug 19, veteran striker Jamie Vardy secured a valuable point for newly-promoted Leicester City with a late equalizer against Tottenham Hotspur, who missed several scoring opportunities throughout the match.

Spurs dominated the first half but Pedro Porro's opener in the 29th minute was the only time they could make one of a host of good chances count.

Further clear-cut opportunities came and went after the break, with the visitors' wastefulness proving costly when Leicester skipper Vardy headed an equaliser into the net with 57 minutes gone.

Brazilian Richarlison missed a golden opening to win it at the death and Spurs had to settle for one point in a match they really should have taken all three from.
