In a crucial relegation battle in the Premier League in the early hours of Wednesday morning, Lister City drew 1-1 away to Leeds United thanks to the substitute appearance of 36-year-old veteran Jimmi Wardy. Both teams failed to score in the draw, a seemingly "lose-lose" result that will undoubtedly exacerbate the crisis of both sides falling into the relegation zone.
Early in the game, Leicester City midfielder Terry Vince had scored an impressive goal, but then VAR intervened to rule the opposing player offside and the goal was ruled out. Leicester United avoided disaster for the time being but good fortune arrived in the 20th minute of the first half when Schnystella scored a goal to break the deadlock in the game.
Lister City then went all out to mount a comeback, bringing on Jimmy Wardy to bolster the attack. The striker lived up to his name and broke his six-month goal drought by equalizing in the 80th minute. Leeds United's striker Brent Bamford missed a good chance to score. The draw is not good for either team, with Leeds United currently sitting in 16th place and Lister City in 17th, facing potential threats from relegation-placed Ewarton and Nottingham Forest.
Meanwhile, Wolves beat Crystal Palace 2-0 at home through an opponent's own goal and Rubin Neves scoring from the penalty spot. Wolves have won three of their last four Premier League matches and are gradually pulling out of the relegation storm.
