Both sides pick up a point after clash on South Coast

Leicester made it six games unbeaten as they picked up a 1-1 away draw against Plymouth at Home Park. The Foxes broke the deadlock on 31 minutes after a mix-up at the back saw Argyle's Kari Arnason poke the ball past his own goalkeeper and into the back of the net. But Plymouth restored parity seven minutes later when Craig Noone headed in to equalise from close range. Leicester started encouragingly and created the first chance after three minutes when Gallagher's good low cross almost found Lloyd Dyer, but Plymouth goalkeeper David Stockdale got down well to claim the ball. The visitors' Matt Oakley almost threaded an inch-perfect through ball to defender Michael Morrison, who found himself in an attacking position, but Noone threw himself into a well timed sliding tackle to prevent the Foxes attack. Reda Johnson had a chance for Argyle when but he lashed the ball wide of the upright after some good build-up play on the edge of the area. Dyer thought he had put the visitors ahead on the half hour mark when he beat two men on the edge on the area before seeing his shot rebound wide of the upright and evade the waiting Waghorn in the six yard box. Leicester took the lead just moments later when a long ball over the top looked to have beaten Waghorn's chase but Pilgrims defender Arnason failed to spot Stockdale coming off his line and diverted the ball past him and into the net for a calamitous own goal.

Parity

The lead lasted just seven minutes as the home side restored parity when Chris Clark delivered a deep cross and Noone arrived at the back post to head the ball past the helpless Chris Weale. The first chance of the second period fell to Gallagher but his close-range effort was well blocked by Chris Barker as the second half started similarly to the first with the Foxes on top. Waghorn was causing the defence all sorts of problems and from a difficult angle shot across the face of the goal only to see his effort drift inches wide. Richie Wellens almost engineered a chance after an excellent touch earned him some space in the area but Damien Johnson lunged in to clear the ball before he had time to shoot. The visitors continued to press forward and Berner should have given them the lead but he headed Gallagher's cross wide of the upright from a yard out.
