With 86 minutes on the clock and Leicester losing 1-0 against fellow newly-promoted side Ipswich Town, boss Steve Cooper decided to take action.
Cooper, served a one-match suspension after receiving his third yellow card of the season when his side lost at Manchester United in the EFL Cup in midweek, and perhaps his view from the stands helped give him a better view of proceedings on the field.
Forward Jordan Ayew came on as a substitute for defender Victor Kristiansen and scored in the 94th minute of the match to justify Cooper’s bold move and rescue a point for the away side.
Both of Ayew’s Premier League goals this season have come in second-half stoppage time (in the 98th minute at Southampton, and 94th at Ipswich).
If Leicester are to remain in the league, picking up points against such opposition will be vital – especially ahead of another tough trip to Old Trafford next Sunday (14:00 GMT).
