Leicester rallies for 1-1 with 10-man Southampton in EPL

SOUTHAMPTON, England (AP) — Leicester’s bid for Champions League soccer has suffered a minor setback after having to settle for a 1-1 draw with 10-man Southampton in the English Premier League. Jonny Evans’ 68th-minute header earned third-place Leicester a point on the south coast following James Ward-Prowse’s penalty opener for the battling hosts. Saints played for 80 minutes a man down after Jannik Vestergaard was sent off for bringing down Jamie Vardy on the edge of the hosts’ 18-yard box. Brendan Rodgers’ team was unable to take full advantage of the early dismissal and the result moved the Foxes eight points clear of fifth-placed West Ham in the race for European football. A dogged Southampton extended its distance from the relegation zone to 10 points.
