Burnley secured a dramatic 2-2 draw against Leicester City this afternoon at the King Power Stadium to climb off the foot of the Premier League table.

Jeffrey Schlupp's goal on 33 minutes sparked the beginning of a goal frenzy, with Michael Kightly soon levelling up the game, before Riyad Mahrez regained his side's lead before the break.

The Foxes looked to be heading towards all three points, until substitute Ross Wallace found the top corner of the net from a late free kick to salvage a point for Burnley.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at who impressed during an entertaining 90 minutes in the East Midlands.

LEICESTER CITY

Goal

Kasper Schmeichel: Rarely tested in the first half with Ashley Barnes's speculative long-range drive the only time he was called into action. Will be frustrated not to have kept out Wallace's late free kick, but in fairness to him it was struck brilliantly. (7/10)

Defence

Ritchie de Laet: Having shaken off a knock to be passed fit the full-back looked to get forward as often as possible, although he could not find an end product. (7/10)

Wes Morgan: Was solid throughout and got the better of his battles with Burnley's front two. His searching balls from the back offer an additional attacking dimension. (7/10)

Liam Moore: An otherwise faultless afternoon from the centre-back was only blotted by the conceding of a free kick five minutes into extra time which cost his side. (6/10)

Paul Konchesky: The Foxes' most experienced player should have done better for the first goal. Allowed Kightly to get away from him, firing home from all of six yards out. (6/10)

Midfield

Dean Hammond: Not his best afternoon, although he did get forward throughout and almost created some openings for his side. (7/10)

Danny Drinkwater: Arguably the best player on the pitch down to his tireless running which caused the opposing side numerous problems. His driving runs eased pressure when ahead especially, although David Nugent failed to play him in late on which proved costly in the end. (8/10)

Riyah Mahrez: Another energetic display from the Algeria international who was the first half's best player, bagging a goal and assist and creating all-round havoc for the Clarets' back line. (8/10)

Jamie Vardy: Another Foxes player who gave it his all, running from start to finish and closing down opponents to help out his side. Also set up Mahrez's goal which was the least that he deserved. (8/10)

Attack

Leonardo Ulloa: A very quiet afternoon for the East Midlands' outfit's top scorer, who proved ineffectual before being replaced on the hour. (5/10)

Jeffrey Schlupp: Took his chance well to make the breakthrough this afternoon, and was a dangerous option in attack for his side. (8/10)

Substitutes

Matty James: He was only on the field for 10 minutes, in which time Burnley salvaged a draw. Not a lot he could do about that one, though. (6/10)

Anthony Knockaert: Did not make much of an impression after replacing Mahrez. He will be looking to add to this rare appearance after the international break. (6/10)

David Nugent: Offered more than Ulloa, but he failed to play in both Vardy and Drinkwater to wrap up the game. (7/10)

BURNLEY

Goal

Tom Heaton: The busier of the two keepers, producing one fine stop in particular to deny Mahrez with his fingertips in the first half. (8/10)

Defence

Kieran Trippier: Powerful runner down the right-hand channel, although he was stretchered off late on and looks likely to spend quite some time on the sidelines which is a huge blow for both him and his side. (7/10)

Michael Duff: Looked solid enough and had to be on guard as Leicester continuously asked questions through their energetic forward players. (7/10)

Jason Shackell: Likewise, Shackell will be happy with his performance. He may have conceded six times in two games, but the three-consecutive clean sheets beforehand will help to cancel out that particular statistic. (7/10)

Ben Mee: The visiting side's best player. His countless defensive blocks in the first half and attacking forays into the opponent's half epitomised what Burnley are all about. (8/10)

Midfield

George Boyd: Failed to make an impact during his time on the pitch, getting one shot in particular terribly wrong in the first half to the annoyance of his better-placed teammates. (5/10)

Scott Arfield: A decent enough performance from the Scotsman in his makeshift central position. Was lucky not to be cautioned for his cynical block on Drinkwater in the second half. (7/10)

Stephen Ward: One of two changes to the Clarets' side for this one. Performed well on what was his first start for Burnley since joining from Wolverhampton Wanderers. (7/10)

Michael Kightly: Was relatively quiet on the whole, wasting a few set piece opportunities in particular. Took his first-half goal well, though, to end his side's recent goal-scoring drought. (7/10)

Attack

Ashley Barnes: Quiet afternoon from the former Brighton & Hove Albion man. Struggled to get into the game and was lucky not to have been replaced. (5/10)

Lukas Jutkiewicz: Grew into the contest as it wore on, and he came close to scoring with his headed effort on the hour. (6/10)

Substitutes

Ross Wallace: On the field for a little over 10 minutes, yet it was his dramatic late strike which secured the vital point for his side. (8/10)

Marvin Sordell: Made a difference instantly when introduced, offering a more varied option. Looked to get in behind the City centre-backs on a couple of occasions. (7/10)

Michael Keane: The Manchester United loanee did not exactly have a great deal to do when brought on against his former club, but he got the better of Nugent when left up one-on-one late on. (7/10)
