Ten-man Leicester City battled to recover from a two-goal deficit against Shrewsbury Town in the Pontin's Central League on Monday evening.

Sergio Hellings received a straight red card on forty minutes before second half goals from DJ Campbell and Ricky Sappleton rescued a point for the Foxes.

It was Shrewsbury who started the brighter of the two sides with striker Guy Madjo testing Ben Alnwick with a low shot inside ten minutes.

And the visitors were ahead four minutes later when Harry Worley handled inside the area and David Hunt converted the resulting spot-kick.

Zsolt Laczko saw his low shot drift wide of the post before Madjo doubled Shrewsbury's lead by firing low under Alnwick from close range on 36 minutes.

Things got worse for City as they were reduced to ten men - Sergio Hellings punished for a late challenge on Hunt.

Madjo again tormented the Leicester defence just before the break as his run and pass found Jimmy Ryan who failed to hit the target with a curling effort.

Ricky Sappleton was introduced at half time and made an instant impact by setting up Matty Fryatt, but the strker was unable to test goalkeeper Glynn Garner.

DJ Campbell started the fight-back on 66 minutes when he latched on to an Andy King pass and rounded the keeper to put City back into the game.

And it was a cross from Campbell ten minutes later that eventually dropped to Sappleton in front of goal - the striker, sponsored by Leicester City World, was quickest to react and made sure the Foxes didn't walk away empty handed.

Leicester City return to Pontin's League action on Wednesday when Oldham Athletic are the visitors to the Marston's Stadium.
