Ten-man Barnsley came from a goal down to rescue a point from a 1-1 draw with Leicester, who struggled to break down the hosts despite having a man advantage for more than an hour.<\/p>\n
Liam Cullen opened the scoring for the Foxes, but Reyes Cleary earned a point for the Reds, who had Luca Connell sent off in the first half.<\/p>\n
Leicester took the lead after Luke Thomas put the ball on a plate for Cullen to score from inside the area after seven minutes.<\/p>\n
Barnsley’s task became even harder when Connell was sent off in the 26th minute after referee Sebastian Stockbridge adjudged his challenge on Thomas was reckless.<\/p>\n
Despite that setback, Barnsley deservedly levelled as Cleary unleashed a powerful effort into the roof of the net in the 61st minute after a sloppy pass from Warren O’Hara allowed Arley Kay to play the winger through on goal.<\/p>\n
The Reds defended resolutely and came close to winning it through Patrick Kelly in added time.<\/p>\n
The 4,300 Leicester fans who travelled to South Yorkshire booed the players and boss Russell Martin off at full-time.<\/p>\n
