Comments:

League position: 11th In a case of mistaken identity, Erik Pieters had his booking after 67 minutes rescinded with the yellow card now attributed to Bruno Martins Indi. Stoke City had now lost two of their last 12 Premier League games. The Potters had now scored at least two goals in four of their last six home games in the Premier League. Joe Allen had now scored more Premier League goals in 2016-17 (five) than in his previous four seasons combined (four). Joe Allen scored in the third minute of added time in the first-half. Ramadan Sobhi replaced Glenn Whelan in the second minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 15th Jamie Vardy became the second player to be sent-off twice in the Premier League in 2016 (also Victor Wanyama when playing for Southampton in the previous season). This was the 14th time that the Foxes had a player sent-off in a Premier League game but the first when they avoided defeat. They became the first team to be shown six cards in first-half of Premier League game since Aston Villa at Chelsea on 2 January 2011. Christian Fuchs was booked in the first minute of added time in the first half. Marc Albrighton was booked in the second minute of added time in the first-half.
