Sunday, December 28, 1997 Published at 19:32 GMT Sport: Football Booth saves 10-man Wednesday
Ten-man Sheffield Wednesday snatched a draw five minutes from time as Leicester City's poor home form continued.
Wednesday had been on the rack throughout the second half after having Dejan Stefanovic sent off two minutes before the break for his second bookable offence.
Leicester went ahead in the first half when Wednesday keeper Kevin Pressman, failed to deal with Steve Guppy's tame 28th-minute header.
However, it was some inspired second half keeping by Pressman, together with
sloppy Leicester finishing, which kept the visitors in the game.
Leicester started the second half determined to press home their one man advantage.
Pressman was called into action immediately after the restart when he saved Matt Elliott's header.
The Owls keeper also had to parry Neil Lennon's fierce drive after 56 minutes
before hanging onto Marshall's 20-yard drive.
Pressman then saved at Emile Heskey's feet after he had been put clear by Lennon.
