JEREMY SARMIENTO’S late scrambled effort rescued a point for the Tractor Boys to ruin Enzo Maresca’s room with a view. 

The on-loan winger pounced in the penultimate minute of normal time as Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich again earned a draw when all seemed lost.

Sarmiento, who is on loan from Brighton after a spell with West Brom, bundled home from eight yards after Foxes keeper Mads Hermansen spilled Massimo Llungo’s fierce drive from the edge of the area.

The goal would have made uncomfortable watching for Leicester boss Maresca who had been banished to the stands as punishment for picking up his third booking of the season.

The goal prevented the Foxes from going 10 points clear at the top but they going 10 points clear at the top but they were able to maintain their advantage thanks to Leif Davis’ own goal.
