In the Premier League relegation battle in the early hours of Wednesday morning (26th), Lister City relied on 36-year-old veteran Jimmy Wardy to score a goal to force a 1-1 draw with Leicester United as the visitors, and the loss of points by both teams means a double loss, which further deepens the relegation crisis of both sides.
Early in the match, Leicester City midfielder Terry Vince scored a World Cup goal, but the goal was disallowed by VAR after it was ruled to be offside. Leicester United had a good chance to avoid a disaster, as they opened the scoring with a goal by Schnystella in the 20th minute of the first half.
Lee Sturt City then poured on the counter-attack, including the substitution of Jimmy Wardy, and the striker lived up to his promise, equalizing 1-1 in the 80th minute and breaking his six-month scoring drought, while Leicester United striker Barnford missed a golden opportunity to score a goal. A draw between the two teams would not be good for either side, with Leeds United still in 16th place and Leicester City in 17th, and could be overtaken at any time by Ewarton and Nottingham Forest, who are in the relegation zone.
In addition, Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home by virtue of an opponent's goal and a 12-yarder by Rubin Neves, winning three of their last four EPL matches and gradually escaping from the relegation vortex.
