Bournemouth and Leicester City played out a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
Eddie Howe's Cherries took the lead in the 24th minute when Callum Wilson, fresh off last week's hat-trick against West Ham, produced an impromptu overhead kick to send a deflected ball off Max Gradel and Robert Huth past Kasper Schmeichel.
It appeared as though Bournemouth were heading for a first win at home in the top flight until Jamie Vardy converted from the spot in the 86th minute after being brought down in the area by Steve Cook.
The draw has Bournemouth sitting 11th on the table following an impressive opening four fixtures with the Foxes occupying third after a bright beginning under Claudio Ranieri.

QUOTES CORNER
Bournemouth's Howe on the sickening injury which forced debutant Mings off:
"It restricted us tactically and also from the guys' perspective to see their team-mate stretchered off. They (the group) are so tight here that it is a difficult one psychologically to handle."
Leicester boss Ranieri on the result:
"In the second half we showed good spirit and character. In the end I am very pleased with the draw and I am sure we deserved it."
