Leicester City showed much-needed resilience in a 2-2 draw against Brighton, earning their first Premier League point in nine matches. Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking before the game, vowed his team would keep fighting despite looming relegation—and his players responded. Brighton, chasing European qualification, took an early lead through Joao Pedro’s penalty. But Leicester, who had gone 885 minutes without scoring, equalised through Stephy Mavididi.
The Seagulls regained the lead with another penalty after the break, but Leicester refused to give up. Caleb Okoli rose to head home from Bilal El Khannouss' free-kick in the 74th minute, securing a morale-boosting draw. Van Nistelrooy will take heart from the spirit his side showed, something missing for much of the season. However, with just a few games remaining, relegation could be confirmed next Sunday if Leicester lose to Liverpool and Wolves beat Manchester United.
