Sky Bet Championship: Jordan Ayew rescues point for Leicester City

For a second consecutive EFL Sky Bet Championship game, Leicester City needed the intervention of an African player.

On Friday, Zambian striker Patson Daka pulled the Foxes from the jaws of defeat, scoring twice in a two-all draw with Preston North End FC.

On Monday, it was the turn of Jordan Ayew to play the role of a saviour for the former Premier League champions.

The Ghanaian scored with six minutes to full time as the visitors forced a one-all draw with Sheffield Wednesday FC in a Sky Bet Championship match.
