The second half went off to a flyer, when Matty Fryatt broke free of the Sunderland defence and slotted the ball into the bottom right-hand corner of of the net. It was a wake-up call for Sunderland, who were looking for their 4th win in a row. The Wearsiders stepped their game up a gear but were still unable to find the target. Tobias Hysen replaced Liam Miller in the 64th minute and the Swede made an instant impact a minute later when he used his pace to get himself infront of goal, before firing a tremendous left-footed shot into the bottom right corner of Leicester's goal.
Sunderland kept piling on the pressure but couldn't break Leicester down. All-in-all, a draw was a fair result but the Sunderland fans were expecting a much better performance from the team.
Roy Keane took responsibility for the two points dropped and admitted he should have freshened the team up - especially after 3 games in one week.
"It was a tired performance, I take responsibility for that. I thought about freshening things up and I should have.
"Three games in a week is hard for any players, especially in the position we were in. That's my job and I didn't do it really well today."

"I should have freshened things up, I just felt they deserved another game but three games in a week is hard going."
