Conor Grant's late strike salvaged a deserved point for Notts County as they held former Premier League champions Leicester to a 1-1 draw at Meadow Lane.

County looked by far the better of the two teams during the early skirmishes, with Cal Roberts firing just over the crossbar and Ollie Cooper hitting the woodwork. The first half was bookended by periods of pressure from the hosts as James Gibbons, Luka Smyth and Roberts tested the Foxes' defensive resolve.

Jayden Joseph fired Russell Martin's men in front just past the hour mark with a rare flash of inspiration, unleashing a powerful right footed drive in the 62nd-minute.

However, Grant slid home from close range to restore parity after fellow substitute Emile Acquah's header had rebounded off a post. Grant finished in clinical fashion 19 minutes after the opener to secure the draw.
