With a little horn Jordan Ayew he Leicester saved a point on his visit to Ipswich Town that, reduced by the expulsion of Calvin Phillips With thirteen minutes remaining, they received a draw (1-1) that kept them in the relegation spots of the Premier League.
Phillips’ departure from the field due to a double yellow card left Ipswich Town reeling, as they looked for their first victory of the season thanks to a goal from Leif Davis in the early stages of the second half. Phillips went from being a fixture in the English team from Manchester City (he played in the 2021 Euro final) to an unsuccessful loan spell at minor clubs like West Ham or now Ipswich, which paid off big to stay in a less crowded last section.
Davis’ goal helped Kieran McKenna’s side temporarily move out of the relegation spots. However, all their work was undone in the 94th minute, when Ayew appeared to finish a fantastic backheel assist from Jamie Vardy, still very strong despite his 37 years, into the net. In their action, Leicester survived, adding a point, accumulating ten and remaining five above Ipswich, surely marking the boundary between safety and relegation.
