The Leicester City vs. West Ham Ending Was Wild
By Ty Duffy
The second half of Leicester City vs. West Ham was…eventful. Jamie Vardy was sent off for a second yellow card, on a controversial dive. Probably the right call.
Andy Carroll scored the penalty to equalize 1-1, after Leicester was called for a soft foul in the box.
Aaron Cresswell put West Ham ahead 2-1 with a shot from distance.

Leicester City were denied a penalty after Robert Huth was pulled down by his neck in the box. But, the Foxes received a much softer penalty call on Andy Carroll at the edge of the box. They equalized for a 2-2 draw in stoppage time.

This result keeps the title race going for a bit longer. Tottenham can pull within five points with four matches to play, by beating Stoke on Monday. Arsenal, still technically alive, can pull within 8 winning two matches in hand.
