JAMIE VARDY RESCUED Leicester City as his penalty secured a 1-1 draw at Huddersfield Town.
Laurent Depoitre, on his full Premier League debut, put Huddersfield ahead in the 47th minute, only for England striker Vardy to equalise with a spot-kick three minutes later following Chris Lowe’s foul on Andy King.
Jamaal Lascelles was Newcastle United’s hero again as he clinched a 2-1 win over Stoke City at St James’ Park.
Rafael Benitez’s side took the lead when Christian Atsu volleyed home for his first Premier League goal in the 19th minute.
Xherdan Shaqiri equalised for Stoke with an impressive strike, curling home after a penetrating run in the 57th minute.
But Newcastle captain Lascelles, who also bagged the winner at Swansea City last weekend, earned the hosts’ third successive victory with a header from Matt Ritchie’s 68th minute corner.
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Gareth Barry equalled the Premier League appearance record in a 0-0 draw against West Ham at the Hawthorns.
Barry, 36, is now level with Ryan Giggs’ mark of 632 games, having made his top-flight debut in 1998.
